That should be workable for this specific example.

Even nicer if '_' is bound to the last function defined.

class SomeClass(objc):
    def funcname(...):
       ...
    _.signature = "v@:@i"

The objc metaclass could take the 'signature' function attribute and transform the function.

It wouldn't work for the objc.accessor example. The objc.accessor function/decorator deduces the right kind of signature from the name and arguments of the function.

Can't the metaclass do that?
