Spying on static methods

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This might be a misunderstanding on my side regarding the use of spy(), but as 
in the test case below, I can't verify the execution of static methods:

from unittest2 import TestCase
from mockito import mock, when, unstub, spy, verify

class Foo(object):
    def foo(self):
        return self.bar()

    @staticmethod
    def bar():
        return 7

class TestMockito(TestCase):
    def test_spy(self):
        s = spy(Foo())
        s.foo()
        verify(s).foo()
        # i would expect those to work as well:
        verify(s).bar()
        verify(Foo).bar()

Actually, this does not work as well (no static method anymore):

class Foo(object):
    def foo(self):
        return self.baz()

    def baz(self):
        return 8

class TestMockito(TestCase):
    def test_spy(self):
        s = spy(Foo())
        s.foo()
        verify(s).foo()
        verify(s).baz()

Yes, it appears to be an issue. I will hopefuly dive into it this weekend. Busy 
times.
Feel free to fix and contribute a patch if you have time. 

Thanks,
