I haven't seen anyone remark upon this yet, but the order of decorator application appears to be implemented backwards.

def testorder(self): class C(object): @funcattrs(abc=1) @staticmethod def foo(): return 42 # This wouldn't work if staticmethod was called first self.assertEqual(C.foo(), 42) self.assertEqual(C().foo(), 42) How odd. I'm positive at one point I tested this and it was the right way round.

Mark, is it possible that this changed between the first and final versions of the decorator patch? The SF report doesn't list any of the older versions...

Thanks, Anthony
