Here's a brief test for a syntax-change-less implementation of this feature, not as complete as testdecorators, but a good start, I believe:

from 2.4a2. I hope that something along the lines of the above will be considered, instead, for the next alpha, unless there is widespread community support for '@decorator', as opposed to the ridiculously faint support ("it's better than nothing") currently behind it.

FWIW, I'd be very much +1 on something like this, which feels much more 'pythonic' and elegant to me than the @ syntax. I know I'm biased because the @ syntax will force me to change ipython and it will break current ipython for anyone wanting to use 2.4, but I'm honestly trying to assess it beyond ipython. And I still don't like it, while JP's solution seems nice and clean to me.

Cheers,
