I expected to see 'nostatget' output: nostat.__get__ = nostatget
obviously failed to replace this function's __get__ method.

I don't quite understand the above sentence, so I'm assuming that you wanted the final "is" test to be "True" instead of "False".

No. I should have described my goal in plain English in first place.

I wanted to replace nostat function's __get__ descriptor with a function that would allow me to peek inside it (i.e. into __get__ descriptor arguments) and that would then call original nostat.__get__.

So no, I expected it to be false, that is, I expected to replace original descriptor with a "custom" descriptor. I just wondered why this custom "nostatget" descriptor didn't get called even though the new nostat.__get__ didn't seem to be its old self (so quite likely it was the new, nostatget, descriptor).

But Bruno pointed out that I need instancemethod for that, not plain function.
