is it possible to see if a class has a decorator ?

I'm not sure what this question means.

Applying a decorator to a class definition produces a normal class.

Classes don't “have” decorators; classes can be returned by a decorator
function, but AFAIK the resulting class doesn't “have” the decorator in
any sense.

The return value of a decorator isn't special in any way, AFAIK.

Any function can return a class object or a function object, and any
function can be used as a decorator.

The only thing that makes a function a decorator is how it is used in
the code; but it doesn't leave a trace that I know of.

Now, what is it you're trying to do? Perhaps there's a better solution
we can come up with.
