I some questions about some code I’ve been looking at. What does the @staticmethod and @property mean when it is written above a method definition in Python like the following?

@staticmethod 
def methodName(parameter):
    Class_Name.CONSTANT_VARIABLE = parameter

@property
def methodName(parameter):
    Class_Name.CONSTANT_VARIABLE = parameter

    The decorator syntax is shorthand for this pattern. 

    def methodName(parameter):
    Class_Name.CONSTANT_VARIABLE = parameter
methodName = some_decorator(methodName)

    can be rearranged like this

    @some_decorator
def methodName(parameter):
    Class_Name.CONSTANT_VARIABLE = parameter

    One advantage is that it sits at the top of the function, so it is clear that it is a decorated function

    Are you also asking what staticmethods and properties are?
