the following example show the fullyQualifiedName limits with decorator:

from twisted.python.reflect import fullyQualifiedName


def name_deco(f):
    def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
        print "from decorator: " + fullyQualifiedName(f)
        return f(*args, **kwargs)
    return wrapper


class Foo(object):

    @name_deco
    def bar(self):
        pass


@name_deco
def bar():
    pass


print fullyQualifiedName(Foo.bar)
print fullyQualifiedName(bar)

# call to trig decorator
f = Foo()
f.bar()
bar()

the above script output:

__main__.Foo.wrapper
__main__.wrapper
from decorator: __main__.bar
from decorator: __main__.bar

using decorator fullyQualifiedName can't make deference between the method Foo.bar and the bar function

Hi @WnP - thanks for spotting this issue. Sorry that you had to wait so long for feedback on it.

I'm inclined to merge it, but it doesn't look like the test coverage you've changed really clearly explains what the issue was or tests for it directly.

Would you mind adding a test which fails on trunk, in much the same way that the example in the description of the PR fails?

@WnP Ping?

Hi @glyph
I will do that soon, but right now I don't have so much time, give me one more week please

@WnP No worries! Just wondering if you had lost interest entirely. You can have as many weeks or months to finish as you need :).

@WnP - ping - just reminding you that it's been more than a week :).

@WnP - any word?

Since the submitter has apparently idled out I'm going to close this for now. But if someone wanted to step up and take over this code I would be happy to re-review it.
