Next, does anybody have any actual use cases for attribute decoration today? If you mean function attributes, Docutils uses them a lot. They're described in <http://docutils.sf.net/docutils/parsers/rst/directives/init.py> and used in all the modules in that directory, such as <docutils/docutils/parsers/rst/directives/images.py>.

Thanks! So for example, this:

def admonition(*args): return make_admonition(nodes.admonition, *args)

admonition.arguments = (1, 0, 1) admonition.options = {'class': directives.class_option} admonition.content = 1

def attention(*args): return make_admonition(nodes.attention, *args)

attention.content = 1

might be rephrased as (say):

as [rst_directive( arguments=(1,0,1), options={'class': directives.class_option}, content=1 ) ] def admonition(*args): return make_admonition(nodes.admonition, *args)

as [rst_directive(content=1)] def attention(*args): return make_admonition(nodes.attention, *args)
