[Python-Dev] PEP 318, a different approach (original) (raw)

I had a strange idea for decorator syntax.

def.classmethod func(cls,...):

Multiple decorators are going to need the usual [] thing (or the current clumsy notation), but the strange thought is allowing

def.iter

so one could be more explicit about defining iterator functions w/out adding a keyword.

Sorry to beat that dead horse. Back to the real notation.

P.S. one could imagine allowing these, as well,, but I can't imagine users typing them: def.func def.instancemethod
