Hello,
I'm not a python-dev regular, so sorry if this is a FAQ. What's the status of defining a syntax for function attributes (PEP 232)?
I don't think changes here are likely.
I'm using __doc__ to carry metadata about methods right now, but would very much like to use function attributes. However, without a specialized syntax, I'm stuck doing things like
VeryLongMethodName.MetadataName = "foo"
which is fine if it's a one-off, but I'd like others to use the code, and this isn't exactly a friendly mechanism.
If PEP
