Well, if staticmethod doesn't mirror the original function's __module__
attribute, I'd say staticmethod is the culprit.

Since Python grew the update_wrapper function, it seems reasonable to ask
that all decorators (or decorator-alikes) provided with Python call
update_wrapper. Of course staticmethod is written in C, so is there a
C function somewhere providing the same functionality as update_wrapper does?
