I want to use a function from another module as a decorator, but I need it to manipulate the current module's global namespace.

For example, I want to be able to go from this:

class SomeClass:
    pass

root = SomeClass

to this:

from othermodule import decorator

@decorator
class Someclass:
    pass

Any ideas?

Use python decorators on class methods and subclass methods

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
Goal: Make it possible to decorate class methods. When a class method gets decorated, it gets stored in a dictionary so that other class methods can reference it by a string name.

I'm trying to figure out how to use decorators on subclasses that use super(). Since my class decorator creates another subclass a decorated class seems to prevent the use of super() when it changes the className passed to super(className, self).
