What you ask for is unimplementable. Method objects are created only when the method is accessed, not (even) when the class is created. Watch this: >>> class X: ... def foo(self): ... pass ... >>> x=X() >>> type(x.foo) <type 'instancemethod'> >>> type(X.__dict__['foo']) <type 'function'> So even though the class has long been defined, inside X's dictionary, foo is still a function. Only when you *access* x.foo, a method object is created on the fly: >>> x.foo is x.foo False Therefore, a decorator function cannot possibly get access to the method object - it simply doesn't exist.
