I'm including both of the following variants: |classmethod |accepts(int, int) |returns(float)

def foo(arg1, arg2): ... def foo(arg1, arg2): |classmethod |accepts(int, int) |returns(float) ... (I prefer the second, but would be happy with either.)

-0.5 for the first, because | hard to read (I just noticed that in my eMail client), and -1 for the second, because decorating a function (some of you suggested even after the docstring) in the actual function takes away all there is to decorators: making it immediately clear that a function is being decorated. If we would have to specify decorators after the actual def and the doc-string, there'd be no need for decorators, as that's what we can do at the moment too.
