Is it possible to modify a class so as to make available a certain method decorator, without having to explicitly import it and without having to prefix it (`@something.some_decorator`):

```
class SomeClass:

    @some_decorator
    def some_method(self):
        pass

```

I don't think this is possible with a class decorator, because that is applied too late. The option that seems more promising is using a metaclass, but I am unsure how, my guess is that I would have to have `some_decorator` be introduced into the namespace of `SomeClass`.

Thanks to @MartijnPieters for pointing out that `staticmethod` and `classmethod` are built-ins. I had expected them to be part of the `type` machinery.

To be clear, I don't have any explicit use-case for this, I am just curious as to whether this is at all possible.

ADDENDUM, now that the question has been answered. The original reason why I was looking beyond simply importing or defining a decorator locally, was that I had defined a decorator that would only work if a certain container attribute was initialised on an object, and I was looking for a way to tie enforcing this to the availability of the decorator. I ended up checking whether the attribute existed and if not initialising it within the decorator, which may very well be the lesser evil here.
