[New-bugs-announce] [issue42832] classmethod change in 3.9 needs better documentation

[Irit Katriel]

New submission from Irit Katriel <iritkatriel at yahoo.com>:

The change in issue 19072 broke our code where a decorator assumes that __get__ is only called for instance methods.

It might be worth adding this to What's new in 3.9.

Also in the documentation:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#classmethod
It implies that before 3.9 it was not possible to wrap, but it was possible, it just behaved differently.
