Maybe, but if you're still serious about improving support for domain-specific embedded languages in Python you ought to give the ideas another look. If a reasonable syntax for decorators falls out of a more general and useful mechanism, so much the better. How does decorate , ...: improve support for domain-specific embedded languages?
I was thinking -- as well as I could through yesterday's allergy attack -- more of the
some-decorator:
<block>form, which allows people to create pseudo-statements of various kinds.
Probably Bob I. is right that it doesn't help as much as it might if is executed before some-decorator is invoked. That said, maybe it's possible to pass the code for the block to some-decorator in this scenario.
