hinting method decorators with protocols fails to remove the self attribute when binding #16200

Bug Report

When hinting a decorator used on methods using Callable, the unbound method and bound method types differ by the first/self parameter as I expect. When I replace the Callable with a Protocol providing .__call__() instead, the unbound and bound cases are the same.

To Reproduce

https://mypy-play.net/?mypy=latest&python=3.11&gist=1046c1e56c21fd17cda1ecab5e9e131b

import typing


def d(f: typing.Callable[[C, int], str]) -> typing.Callable[[C, int], str]:
    def inner(self, x: int) -> str:
        return f(self, x)
    
    return inner

class C:
    @d
    def m(self, x: int) -> str:
        return ""

reveal_type(C.m)
reveal_type(C().m)


class P(typing.Protocol):
    def __call__(protocol_self, self: CP, x: int) -> str:
        ...

def dp(f: P) -> P:
    def inner(self, x: int) -> str:
        return f(self, x)
    
    return inner

class CP:
    @dp
    def m(self, x: int) -> str:
        return ""

reveal_type(CP.m)
reveal_type(CP().m)

Expected Behavior

I don't know the details around 'modifying' protocols such as would be required here but I would expect that unbound and bound would not be the same.

Actual Behavior

Unbound and bound methods decorated with a decorator hinted with protocols have the same type.

main.py:15: note: Revealed type is "def (__main__.C, builtins.int) -> builtins.str"
main.py:16: note: Revealed type is "def (builtins.int) -> builtins.str"
main.py:34: note: Revealed type is "__main__.P"
main.py:35: note: Revealed type is "__main__.P"

    Thanks, I think #15993 makes this behave as you expect
    Might need to see if a creative solution can be worked out for minimising some of the downstream impact

    after some digging i realized,that self attribute removal is indeed incorrect
    callables and methof descriptors are different things

    unfortunately the "correct" version spells out like

    class HasApplication(Protocol):
        @property
        def application(self) -> "Application": ...
    
    HAS_APPLICATION = TypeVar("HAS_APPLICATION", bound=HasApplication)
    
    
    class ApplicationEntityMethod(Generic[HAS_APPLICATION, P, T], Protocol):
        def __call__(protocol_self, /, self: HasApplication, *k: P.kwargs , **kw: P.kwargs ) -> T:
            ...
    
        @overload
        def __get__(self, instance: HAS_APPLICATION, owner: type[HAS_APPLICATION]) -> Callable[P, T]: ...
    
        @overload
        def __get__(self, instance: None, owner: type[HAS_APPLICATION]) -> Self: ...
    
        def __get__(self, instance: HAS_APPLICATION|None, owner: type[HasApplication]) -> Callable[P, T] | Self: ..
        ```
        
        which is most boilerplate ridden  and i still havent figrued how to make it match a function

    @RonnyPfannschmidt

    the working version spells like

    class HasApplication(Protocol):
        @property
        def application(self) -> Application: ...
    
    
    R = TypeVar("R")
    P = ParamSpec("P")
    TM = TypeVar("TM", covariant=True)
    HAS_APPLICATION = TypeVar("HAS_APPLICATION", bound=HasApplication, contravariant=True)
    
    
    class ApplicationEntityMethod(Protocol, Generic[HAS_APPLICATION, P, TM]):
        def __call__(protocol_self, self: HAS_APPLICATION, *k: P.args, **kw: P.kwargs) -> TM: ...
    
        @overload
        def __get__(
            self, instance: HAS_APPLICATION, owner: type[HAS_APPLICATION]
        ) -> Callable[P, TM]: ...
    
        @overload
        def __get__(self, instance: None, owner: type[HAS_APPLICATION]) -> Self: ...
    
        def __get__(
            self, instance: HAS_APPLICATION | None, owner: type[HasApplication]
        ) -> Callable[P, TM] | Self: ...

    i wish there was a builtin version of that
