Jim Hugunin <lists at hugunin.net>:

I like Sam's proposal to add a '*' in front of the list.

*[javasig("public void meth(int a, int b)"), staticmethod] def meth(self, a, b): pass

Would this have any implications if we were to decide to allow * in unpacking one day, i.e.

a, b, *c = some_tuple

It might become legal for an expression to start with *, then.
