I also have looked over the mailing list archives and 
still don't see how things work. The example given was

>          .def("getDims",&Num::getDims)
>          .def("dims", &Num::dims)
>          )
>        ;
>  }

Was the conclusion in this discussion that one cannot
use getDims with an instance of the class NOR with the
class itself? That is neither

X = Num()
X.getDims()

nor

Num.getDims()

will work? Neither works for me. David wrote that

So, what ways are there for using the static method? As I recall,
using the static method in Python via the class name worked OK in
BPV1. I cannot get function getDims() working in V2 with anything I've
tried. Can someone spell it out for me?

Thanks, (and thanks to Dave twice over in a single day)
