== Why is this an issue? Unlike class and instance methods, static methods don't receive an implicit first argument. Nonetheless naming the first argument ``++self++`` or ``++clz++`` guarantees confusion - either on the part of the original author, who may never understand why the arguments don't hold the values he expected, or on that of future maintainers. === Noncompliant code example [source,python] ---- class MyClass: @staticmethod def s_meth(self, arg1, arg2): #Noncompliant # ... ---- === Compliant solution [source,python] ---- class MyClass: @staticmethod def s_meth(arg1, arg2): #Noncompliant # ... ---- ifdef::env-github,rspecator-view[] ''' == Comments And Links (visible only on this page) === duplicates: S2854 endif::env-github,rspecator-view[]
