I thought about the fact that a decorator is merely syntactic sugar, so it 
shouldn't have any closure magic that I can't make myself, and I realized 
that I could have done it the following way:

def makefunc(func):
  def func2(instance, *args):
    result = func(instance, *args)
    instance.save()
    return result
  return func2

for name, func in deque.__dict__.items():
  if (not name.startswith("_")) or name in ('__delitem__', '__setitem__'):
    setattr(pdeque, name, makefunc(func))
