Uh.  I do this all the time, and the answer is simply: don't make that a
staticmethod.  Staticmethods are for the rare case where you need
dynamic class-based dispatch but don't have an instance around.

    class A:
        def _myinitializer():
            do strange stuff here
        _myinitializer()
        del _myinitializer   # optional

A bientot,

Armin
