Witness:

>>> def wraptest(func):
...     print "I'm wrapping an instance of ", type(func)
...     return func
...
>>> class C(object):
...     @wraptest
...     @staticmethod
...     def s():
...         pass
...     @wraptest
...     @classmethod
...     def c():
...         pass
...     @wraptest
...     def i():
...         pass
...
I'm wrapping an instance of  <type 'staticmethod'>
I'm wrapping an instance of  <type 'classmethod'>
I'm wrapping an instance of  <type 'function'>
