Can't inject decorated classes, getting pinject.errors.WrongArgTypeError: wrong type for arg cls: expected class but got <decorator>

[eblis]

I have a simple class with a no-op decorator defined and I'm trying to use pinject to instantiate it, but haven't got this to work yet.

Python 3.8
pinject==0.14.1

class Controller:
    def __init__(self, original_instance):
        self.original_instance = original_instance

@Controller
class UsersController:
  pass


users = obj_graph.provide(UsersController)

Trying to run this i get the following error:

Well yes, your class is not a class anymore, but an instance of Controller

As @MrGreenTea said, this is not a bug. Can we close this issue please?
