Can I use the same decorator on a class method and on a static method?

Question

I have a decorator that I use on some class methods. It looks like this

def api_caller(logger_name):
    def api_caller_decorator(method):
        @wraps(method)
        def caller_wrapper(self, *args, **kwargs):
            logger = log_wrap(logger_name)
            kwargs['api'] = create_api_instance(kwargs['api'])
            logger.info('worker authenticated')
            return method(self, logger=logger, *args, **kwargs)
        return caller_wrapper
    return api_caller_decorator

I want to use that decorator outside of the class, is there a way to do it without redefining and manually excluding the self argument?

Since you are not using self , you can include it in the optional args:

    @wraps(method)
    def caller_wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
        ...
        return method(logger=logger, *args, **kwargs)
