Just look at it when either the list of decorators or the argument list doesn't fit on one line:

Could the decorator list be treated specially, like a docstring?

class C(object):

def longMethodNameForEffect(longArgumentOne=None,
                            longArgumentTwo=42):
    [
        staticmethod,
        funcattrs(grammar="'@' dotted_name [ '(' [arglist] ')' ]",
                  status="experimental", author="BDFL")
    ]
    """This method blah, blah.

    It supports the following arguments:
    - longArgumentOne -- a string giving ...
    - longArgumentTwo -- a number giving ...
    """

compare to:

class C(object):

@staticmethod
@funcattrs(grammar="'@' dotted_name [ '(' [arglist] ')' ]",
                  status="experimental", author="BDFL")
def longMethodNameForEffect(longArgumentOne=None,
                            longArgumentTwo=42):
