Behavior of staticmethod in Python 3

[Marco Buttu]

In Python 3 the following two classes should be equivalent:

$ cat foo.py
class Foo:
    def foo():
        pass
    print(callable(foo))

class Foo:
    @staticmethod
    def foo():
        pass
    print(callable(foo))

But they do not:

$ python3 foo.py
True
False

How come the metaclass does not skip the staticmethod decorator?
