In the suggested syntaxes, the modifiers are not a list. There's no list here: >>> def f() [wrapper]: pass just like there's no tuple* in either of these (or the above): >>> def f(x, y): pass >>> class C(A, B): pass and you can't just say >>> s1 = (x, y) >>> def f s1: pass or >>> s2 = (A, B) >>> class C s2: pass

There is also no tuple here: print a,b,c, (nor any rotation in print >> fff).
