我认为提供一个纯Python版本的staticmethod和classmethod将有助于在语言级别上理解它们之间的区别（请参阅Descriptor Howto Guide）。

这两个都是非数据描述符（如果您首先熟悉描述符，那么更容易理解它们）。

class StaticMethod(object):
    "Emulate PyStaticMethod_Type() in Objects/funcobject.c"

    def __init__(self, f):
        self.f = f

    def __get__(self, obj, objtype=None):
        return self.f


class ClassMethod(object):
    "Emulate PyClassMethod_Type() in Objects/funcobject.c"
    def __init__(self, f):
        self.f = f

    def __get__(self, obj, cls=None):
        def inner(*args, **kwargs):
            if cls is None:
                cls = type(obj)
            return self.f(cls, *args, **kwargs)
        return inner

顾名思义，类方法用于更改类而不是对象。要对类进行更改，它们将修改类属性（而不是对象属性），因为这就是更新类的方式。这就是类方法将类（通常用“cls”表示）作为第一个参数的原因。

class A(object):
    m=54

    @classmethod
    def class_method(cls):
        print "m is %d" % cls.m

另一方面，静态方法用于执行未绑定到类的功能，即它们不会读取或写入类变量。因此，静态方法不将类作为参数。使用它们是为了使类可以执行与类的目的不直接相关的功能。

class X(object):
    m=54 #will not be referenced

    @staticmethod
    def static_method():
        print "Referencing/calling a variable or function outside this class. E.g. Some global variable/function."

实例方法：

+可以修改对象实例状态

+可以修改类状态

类方法：

-无法修改对象实例状态

+可以修改类状态

静态方法：

-无法修改对象实例状态

-无法修改类状态

class MyClass:
    ''' 
    Instance method has a mandatory first attribute self which represent the instance itself. 
    Instance method must be called by a instantiated instance.
    '''
    def method(self):
        return 'instance method called', self
    
    '''
    Class method has a mandatory first attribute cls which represent the class itself. 
    Class method can be called by an instance or by the class directly. 
    Its most common using scenario is to define a factory method.
    '''
    @classmethod
    def class_method(cls):
        return 'class method called', cls
    
    '''
    Static method doesn’t have any attributes of instances or the class. 
    It also can be called by an instance or by the class directly. 
    Its most common using scenario is to define some helper or utility functions which are closely relative to the class.
    '''
    @staticmethod
    def static_method():
        return 'static method called'


obj = MyClass()
print(obj.method())
print(obj.class_method()) # MyClass.class_method()
print(obj.static_method()) # MyClass.static_method()

输出：

('instance method called', <__main__.MyClass object at 0x100fb3940>)
('class method called', <class '__main__.MyClass'>)
static method called

实例方法实际上可以访问对象实例，所以这是我的类对象的一个实例，而使用类方法，我们可以访问类本身。但不适用于任何对象，因为类方法并不真正关心现有的对象。但是，您可以同时调用对象实例上的类方法和静态方法。这将起作用，但实际上并没有什么不同，所以当你在这里调用静态方法时，它会起作用，它会知道你要调用哪个方法。

静态方法用于执行一些实用程序任务，类方法用于工厂方法。工厂方法可以为不同的用例返回类对象。

最后，举一个简短的例子来更好地理解：

class Student:
    def __init__(self, first_name, last_name):
        self.first_name = first_name
        self.last_name = last_name

    @classmethod
    def get_from_string(cls, name_string: str):
        first_name, last_name = name_string.split()
        if Student.validate_name(first_name) and Student.validate_name(last_name):
            return cls(first_name, last_name)
        else:
            print('Invalid Names')

    @staticmethod
    def validate_name(name):
        return len(name) <= 10


stackoverflow_student = Student.get_from_string('Name Surname')
print(stackoverflow_student.first_name) # Name
print(stackoverflow_student.last_name) # Surname

要决定是使用@staticmethod还是@classmethod，必须查看方法内部。如果您的方法访问类中的其他变量/方法，请使用@classmethod。另一方面，如果您的方法不涉及类的任何其他部分，则使用@staticmethod。

class Apple:

    _counter = 0

    @staticmethod
    def about_apple():
        print('Apple is good for you.')

        # note you can still access other member of the class
        # but you have to use the class instance 
        # which is not very nice, because you have repeat yourself
        # 
        # For example:
        # @staticmethod
        #    print('Number of apples have been juiced: %s' % Apple._counter)
        #
        # @classmethod
        #    print('Number of apples have been juiced: %s' % cls._counter)
        #
        #    @classmethod is especially useful when you move your function to another class,
        #       you don't have to rename the referenced class 

    @classmethod
    def make_apple_juice(cls, number_of_apples):
        print('Making juice:')
        for i in range(number_of_apples):
            cls._juice_this(i)

    @classmethod
    def _juice_this(cls, apple):
        print('Juicing apple %d...' % apple)
        cls._counter += 1

只有第一个参数不同：

normal方法：当前对象作为（附加）第一个参数自动传递classmethod：当前对象的类自动作为（附加的）第一个参数传递staticmethod：不会自动传递额外的参数。传递给函数的就是得到的。

更详细地说。。。

正常方法

“标准”方法，如在所有面向对象的语言中。当调用对象的方法时，会自动为其提供一个额外的参数self作为其第一个参数。即，方法

def f(self, x, y)

必须使用2个参数调用。self是自动传递的，它是对象本身。类似于这个神奇地出现在例如java/c++中，只有在python中才显式显示。

实际上，第一个参数不必称为self，但它是标准的约定，所以请保留它

类方法

装饰方法时

@classmethod
def f(cls, x, y)

自动提供的参数不是self，而是self的类。

静态法

装饰方法时

@staticmethod
def f(x, y)

该方法根本没有给出任何自动参数。它只提供调用它的参数。

用法

classmethod主要用于替代构造函数。staticmethod不使用对象的状态，甚至不使用类本身的结构。它可以是类外部的函数。它只放在类中，用于对具有类似功能的函数进行分组（例如，像Java的Math类静态方法）

class Point
    def __init__(self, x, y):
        self.x = x
        self.y = y

    @classmethod
    def frompolar(cls, radius, angle):
        """The `cls` argument is the `Point` class itself"""
        return cls(radius * cos(angle), radius * sin(angle))

    @staticmethod
    def angle(x, y):
        """this could be outside the class, but we put it here 
just because we think it is logically related to the class."""
        return atan(y, x)


p1 = Point(3, 2)
p2 = Point.frompolar(3, pi/4)

angle = Point.angle(3, 2)

从其文档中定义静态方法和类方法。以及何时使用静态方法和何时使用类方法。

静态方法类似于java和C#中的静态方法，它不会使用类的任何初始化值，只需要从外部进行操作即可。类方法：通常用于继承重写，当我们重写一个方法时，然后使用CLS实例来判断是否要调用子类或父类的方法。以防您希望同时使用同名和不同签名的方法。

静态方法（函数）->方法

Convert a function to be a static method.

A static method does not receive an implicit first argument.
To declare a static method, use this idiom:

     class C:
         @staticmethod
         def f(arg1, arg2, ...):
             ...

It can be called either on the class (e.g. C.f()) or on an instance
(e.g. C().f()).  The instance is ignored except for its class.

Static methods in Python are similar to those found in Java or C++.
For a more advanced concept, see the classmethod builtin.
"""

classmethod（函数）->方法

Convert a function to be a class method.

A class method receives the class as implicit first argument,
just like an instance method receives the instance.
To declare a class method, use this idiom:

  class C:
      @classmethod
      def f(cls, arg1, arg2, ...):
          ...

It can be called either on the class (e.g. C.f()) or on an instance
(e.g. C().f()).  The instance is ignored except for its class.
If a class method is called for a derived class, the derived class
object is passed as the implied first argument.

Class methods are different than C++ or Java static methods.
If you want those, see the staticmethod builtin.
