Decorators are nothing more than callables that are applied automatically. To apply it manually, replace the class with the return value of the decorator:

import somemodule

somemodule.someclass = debug_signals(somemodule.someclass)

This replaces the somemodule.someclass name with the return value of debug_signals, which we passed the original somemodule.someclass class.
