title: How can I access a classmethod from inside a class in Python
body: <p>I would like to create a class in Python that manages above all static members. These members should be initiliazed during definition of the class already. Due to the fact that there will be the requirement to reinitialize the static members later on I would put this code into a classmethod.</p>
  
  <p>My question: How can I call this classmethod from inside the class?</p>
  
  <pre><code>class Test():
      # static member
      x = None
      # HERE I WOULD LOVE TO CALL SOMEHOW static_init!
  
      # initialize static member in classmethod, so that it can be 
      #reinitialized later on again    
      @classmethod
      def static_init(cls):
          cls.x = 10
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance, 
  Volker</p>
