[New-bugs-announce] [issue39082] AsyncMock is unable to correctly patch static or class methods

[Aniket Panse]

New submission from Aniket Panse <aniketpanse at gmail.com>:

Currently, patch is unable to correctly patch coroutinefunctions decorated with `@staticmethod` or `@classmethod`.

Example:

```
[*] aniketpanse [~/git/cpython] -> ./python                                                                                                                                                                                                         ±[master]
Python 3.9.0a1+ (heads/master:50d4f12958, Dec 17 2019, 16:31:30)

>>> class Helper:
...     @classmethod
...     async def async_class_method(cls):
...         pass
... 
>>> from unittest.mock import patch
>>> patch("Helper.async_class_method")
<unittest.mock._patch object at 0x7fc28ddbbf40>
```

This should ideally return an `AsyncMock()`.
