Python "private" classmethod and DRY

Sometimes a class will have "private" @classmethod

which calls other methods:

class FooClassThisSometimesHasALongNameEspIfAUnittestSubclasss(...):
    @classmethod
    def foo():
        ... 

    def bar(self):
        ...
        FooClassThisSometimesHasALongNameEspIfAUnittestSubclasss.foo()
        ...

      

        
        
        
      

    

As you can see, the class name is repeated; it's admittedly probably not serious enough to cause a tech crash followed by a zombie apocalypse, but it's still a DRY violation and somewhat annoying.

The answer to a similar question aboutsuper

stated that this is one of the reasons for Py3 newsuper

.

In the absence of any magic function normal()

(which, unlike super()

, returns the current class), is there a way to avoid repetition?
