How to differentiate between method and function in a decorator?

Question

I want to write a decorator that acts differently depending on whether it is applied to a function or to a method.

def some_decorator(func):
    if the_magic_hap         


        

Answer 1

From Python 3.3 onwards by using PEP 3155:

def some_decorator(func):
    if func.__name__ != func.__qualname__:
        print 'Yay, found a method ^_^ (unbound jet)'
    else:
        print 'Meh, just an ordinary function :/'
    return func

A method x of class A will have a __qualname__ that is A.x while a function x will have a __qualname__ of x.
