python exec, add staticmethod to class -

in python can do:

exec(code_string, globals(), some_object.__dict__) 

to add method object. possible add static method class in sort of similar fashion? like:

exec(code_string, globals(), classname.__dict__) 

so statically call method:

classname.some_static_method() 

what i'm trying add new staticmethods during runtime given python code defining method. i.e. if given:

code_string = ''' @staticmethod def test():     return 'blah' ''' 

how can create , instantiate class call it?

hopefully clear enough, thank you!

edit: working example of adding function object:

class testobject(object):     pass  code_string = ''' def test(): return 'blah' ''' t = testobject() exec(code_string, globals(), t.__dict__) 

use setattr()

>>> code_string = ''' ... @staticmethod ... def test(): ...     return 'returning blah' ... ''' >>> >>> exec(code_string)  >>> test <staticmethod object @ 0x10fd25c58>  >>> class classname(object): ...     def instancemethod(self): ...             print "instancemethod!" ... >>> setattr(classname, 'teststaticmethod', test)  >>> classname.teststaticmethod() 'returning blah' >>> 

and here's article on being safe exec() , eval() in python.
