Static Initializer In Python

My question is similar to Is there a static constructor or static initializer in Python?. However I still don't quite follow how to implement a static constructor as I would in Jav

Solution 1:

The problem is lookupByName is not static and expects an implicit first argument, self. Use the staticmethod decorator in your class definition:

classTestBuilder:
    ...
    @staticmethoddeflookupByName(name):
        result = None
        ...
