Actually, here's an interesting example based on quickly firing up a worker thread:
postdef t = threading.Thread(target=def); t.start() def pointless(): """A pointless worker thread that does nothing except serve as an example""" print("Starting") time.sleep(3) print("Ending")
I think the problem is still that the syntax isn't nice or obvious. Until the syntax is nice and obvious, I don't think there's any point adding it. (by contrast, decorators *are* nice and obvious: writing "@classmethod" before a method was tons better than the previous redundant idiom) Regards Antoine.
