Yeah, I couldn't find any real explanation of whether that's intended
behaviour or a bug.

That would be nice, but I can't do that because of
backwards-compatibility (overriding the connectionFactory class variable
needs to work).
I'll stick with staticmethod for now and if situation warrants (like for
instance CPython decides you can't call staticmethod on a C function)
I'll turn to something more elaborate.
Thanks!
