Looks like it works on staticmethods in python3.7 about decorator HOT 8 CLOSED

The documentation is correct, it is saying that you cannot decorate a staticmethod, meaning that dec(staticmethod(func_or_coro)) is not working. It is implicit that
staticmethod(dec(func_or_coro)) works since there is nothing strange there.

from decorator.

The trick with staticmethod/classmethod is that the decorator module works only if you use the right order, which is the one you are using. The opposite order will not work:

    @log_start_stop
    @staticmethod
    async def make_task(n):

For me this is a non-problem, of course the right order if the first one, because the decorator has to be applied to the function not to the staticmethod. With wrapt it would work in both orders.

But it doesn't support coroutine.😢

I am right in understanding that you are happy with the current behavior and I can close issue?
If you have a problem please be more explicit.

Yeah, you can close this. But would you like to add something about this to documentation?

I will change it is cleaner and safer to decorate only functions -> it is cleaner and safer to decorate only functions and coroutines.

And how about change If you want to decorate things like classmethods/staticmethods and general callables - which I will never support in the decorator module - I suggest you to look at the wrapt project by Graeme Dumpleton. to If you want to decorate things like classmethods/staticmethods and general callables - which I will never support in the decorator module - I suggest you to look at the wrapt project by Graeme Dumpleton. But you can use the decorator module on these things carefully right now and it should work.?

Got it. Sorry for my poor English, I misunderstood the documentation.
