Well, this can also be moved forward by one block to avoid the time spent on obtaining the attribute when it is not necessary. I hope I have not bored you with these micro-optimizations.

I will also add, "for the record", why I do not handle partialmethod objects in this way in the code attached to the original issue. They are not callable, and therefore applying markcoroutinefunction() to them is incorrect, which means they should not be checked. Being defined as a class member, accessing the corresponding attribute will return a regular function object created by partialmethod (or a method object for such a function, if via an instance). Therefore, there is no point in unnecessary iteration, and you can go straight to pm.func (see the block above).

This seems unrelated changes

Please:

• Wrap all lines under 80 characters.
• Remove "obvious" comments. "Methods: unwrap first" is clear from the way you're doing it.
• Avoid blank lines. The standard library usually tries to avoid expanding the code vertically.

Why not doing while ismethod(f): f = f.__func__ here?

>>> from functools import partialmethod
>>> class MyClass:
...     def a(self): ...
...     b = partialmethod(a)
>>> obj = MyClass()
>>> obj.b
functools.partial(<bound method MyClass.a of <__main__.MyClass object at 0x7fd343f4cc20>>)
>>> obj.b.func.__func__
<function MyClass.a at 0x7fd343f42cf0>

When unwrapping the reference to obj.b, the functools.partial object comes before the method object, so the assumption that method objects always precede other objects is incorrect.

>>> from functools import partialmethod
>>> class MyFirstClass:
...     def f(self, other): ...
>>> first = MyFirstClass()
>>> class MySecondClass:
...     g = partialmethod(first.f)
>>> second = MySecondClass()
>>> second.g
<bound method partialmethod._make_unbound_method.<locals>._method of <__main__.MySecondClass object at 0x7fd343f4d400>>
>>> second.g.__func__.__partialmethod__.func
<bound method MyFirstClass.f of <__main__.MyFirstClass object at 0x7fd343f4d2b0>>

Well, it seems to me that the current implementation (in the main branch) is not very well thought out. Personally, I would not rely on it.

If your comment is only about why there is if instead of while... why do we need a nested loop when we already have an outer one? Moreover, how often are methods that refer to other methods used? Does it even make sense to try to optimize this case? I think it is sufficient and simpler to rely on the outer loop.

As you can easily see, the code in this PR is very similar to the one I attached to the original issue, except for the order of the blocks and some points borrowed from the original code (AI-generated or just copy-paste?). I use something similar in the implementation of similar functions in my library, although they are more general in nature.

I think you should use functools._unwrap_partialmethod which handles both partial methods and partial functions (first it unwraps partial methods then unwraps partial functions)
