[Python-Dev] Call for defense of @decorators (original) (raw)

Except + and - would be valid Python syntax already ;)

Ah, yes, the unary +. It's not clear to me why we need to have this - the unary - is certainly necessary. So we still have * and / :-)

Aesthetically I much prefer @ over ! or %. !looks !bad !next !to !text !because !it !doesn't !stand !out and %makes %me %think %of %comments %in %another %language.

So we do need Unicode after all :-)

 ►classmethod
 def foo():
   pass
