What would you think of 'is' then?  

    def name(...) is classmethod:
        
doesn't ring confusing bells IMO.  I certainly like it
more than some brackets which you don't even know 
how to pronounce.  Moreover the original chaining e.g.

    def name(...) is classmethod, syncmethod:

still reads well IMO.
