This looks ugly to me. I do have top level functions that would use decorators because those functions will be put into a class as classmethods and this class will be put into sys.modules instead of the original module. Replacing

def foo(cls): ... foo = classmethod(foo) with if True: [classmethod] def foo(cls): ... doesn't look that attractive to me.

You won't have to do that except in interactive mode. How often do you type functions that need decorators interactively?
