Python: How to refer a class inside itself?

Question

Trying to refer a class inside itself. For e.g.

class Test:
    FOO_DICT = {1 : Test.bar}  # NameError: name 'Test' is not defined

    @staticmethod
    def bar():
        pass

Does this usage make sense? Any better alternatives? Thanks!

If you want the dictionary to be in the class: define the function first and remove Test:

class Test:
    @staticmethod
    def bar():
         pass

    FOO_DICT = {1: bar}
