class - Referencing static method from static variable in Python

Question

I have a static variable in which I want to store a reference to a static method in the same class, but it appears to not be possible. What I'm trying to do looks like this:

class TestClass:
    mymethod = TestClass.some_method

    @staticmethod
    def some_method():
        pass

But yields this error:

  File "test.py", line 239, in TestClass
    mymethod = TestClass.some_method
NameError: name 'TestClass' is not defined

For more specific context, I want to define a field in a Django model where the default is determined by a static method in the same class, but I run into this problem. Is there another way to tackle this problem?

Here is more complete example:

class Employee(models.Model):
    default_boss = None

    node = models.ForeignKey('Boss', related_name='Employee', default=get_default_boss)

    @staticmethod
    def get_default_boss():
        return BossLib.enumerate_bosses().get_default()
