Ooohh... time for some fun! Some proposals have included "as". Since "as" isn't really a keyword, how about:
from decorate import decorate as as
as(classmethod) def myAlternateConstructor(...): # make something interesting: return 42
Too bad this is ugly for the simple attribute decorator:
as(spam="fidget") def foo(...): send_fred_more_spam_please()
I don't find it so ugly... but then there's always "with" ;-) -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
