Sorry, that part got a bit messed up:

class MetaDecorate(type):
    "Enables delayed decoration and annotation of methods"
    def __new__(klass, name, bases, _dict):
        if "decorated" in _dict:
            for m, (d, a) in _dict["decorated"].iteritems():
                _dict[m] = delayed_decorate(_dict[m], *d, **a)
            del _dict["decorated"]
        return type.__new__(klass, name, bases, _dict)
