[Python-Dev] PEP 318: Can't we all just get along? (original) (raw)

Is anybody seriously trying to come up with a single alternative decorator proposal that most folks "out there" can support, to be presented to me (with implementation, please!) in time for 2.4b1?

There was a poll linked from the decorators wiki, that now says (consider the poll now closed). If it were a democracy, the standings are:

A. @classmethod def foo(): (107) 16% C1. def foo() [classmethod]: (269) 39% E1. def foo(): @classmethod (311) 45%

Both C1 and E1, which are the clear favorites, have been previously rejected by Guido for various reasons.

If I were to vote between C1 ad E1, I'd say E1, if only because its structure encourages reuse.
