When the decorator is called, the function object is just a function
object, not a method, so there is no concept of "what class it is
destined for".

>>> def dec(func):

...     print type(func)
...     try:
...             print func.im_class
...     except:
...             print "no im_class"
...     return func

>>> class Test(object):

...     def spam(self):

...
<type 'function'>
no im_class
>>> type(Test.spam)

<type 'instancemethod'>
>>> Test.spam.im_class

<class '__main__.Test'>

I suppose you could try to determine what namespace you're currently when
the class is created, but that's surely going to be fragile and messy.
