So at the moment, I don't think it is possible to implement singledispatch on classmethod or staticmethod decorated functions.

I've posted this to the PR, but adding it here as well: I think this is a situation very similar to the case with functools.partialmethod, where you're going to need to write a separate functools.singledispatchmethod class that's aware of the descriptor protocol, rather than trying to add the functionality directly to functools.singledispatch.

Cheers, Nick.
