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

I had a strange idea for decorator syntax.

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

This would violate the 'greppability' requirement. It's too nice to have the name always be the token immediately following 'def' to allow anything in between the two.

Basically, the only two positions that are still in the race are before the def, and between the argument list and the colon.
