That's debatable. Since writing:
@b
def a():
...
is equivalent to:
def a():
...
a = b(a)
and in the latter case co_firstlineno points to the "def a()" line.
Furthermore, co_firstlineno is an attribute of the code object, not the
function object, so it shouldn't ideally depend on whether a decorator
was applied or not.
