> The goal of all that was to be able to change the behavior of my_method inside class B simply by redefining the decorator. Basically, what I want is B.my_method() to be decorated by B._protector_decorator, but in the code I'm running it's decorated by A._protector_decorator.

While this doesn't make the use of decorators completely pointless (the decorators actually do something in each class, it's just different), it does add a bunch of code duplication which I was at one point hopeful to avoid.

It sounds that you need a decorator mapper to 
perform the functionality of your designs.
