staticmethod() protocol implementation

Implementing the protocol that staticmethod() uses under the hood.

python
# staticmethod() - implementing the protocol
class Custom:
    def __staticmethod__(self):
        return "custom result"

obj = Custom()
print(staticmethod(obj))

Understanding the dunder methods that staticmethod() calls helps you customize behavior for your own classes.

Edge cases with staticmethod()

Handling unusual inputs and edge cases.

python
# staticmethod() edge cases
print("Edge case handling for staticmethod()")

# Type checking
print(type(42))

Knowing these edge cases prevents subtle bugs in production.
