override a static method on a subclass in python

In Python, overriding a static method in a subclass is similar to overriding a regular method. Here's an example of how to override a static method in Python:

main.py
class MyClass:
    @staticmethod
    def my_static_method():
        print("Hello, world!")

class MySubclass(MyClass):
    @staticmethod
    def my_static_method():
        print("Goodbye, world!")

MyClass.my_static_method()   # Output: "Hello, world!"
MySubclass.my_static_method()  # Output: "Goodbye, world!"
314 chars
13 lines

In the code above, we define a parent class MyClass with a static method my_static_method(). We then create a subclass MySubclass that overrides my_static_method() with its own implementation. Finally, we test both methods to see their outputs.

Note that when we override a static method in a subclass, we use the same @staticmethod decorator as in the parent class. This is because static methods are bound to the class, not the instance, so they are not affected by inheritance.
