Given that attributes are part of function object dictionary, and defined at function definition time like docstring, why not:

def func(atr): {author="Guido", deprecated=True} '''doc''' pass Presumably {attributes} will be like "doc": only allowed immediately after def (interchangebly with "doc") and do no harm in other places.

I quite like this (although it ought to be a real dictionary literal, ie {'author': 'Guido', 'deprecated': True}, which doesn't read quite as well.

But I still think this is a separate issue from PEP 318.
