I think new syntax would be better than a decorator (or a metaclass, which for some reason never seems to get suggested for these things),
I think maybe discussion of the general namespace idea might be a little off topic for this read (per Guido's comments).
However the metaclass below-- or something like it-- could still help with the problem? It was actually my attempt at a general namespace object in the previous namespace thread. It seemed to work ok, and it should work in this use case:
import types
class namespace(type):
def __new__(mcls, name, bases, dct):
if bases:
raise TypeError("this is a namespace, not a class.")
mod = types.ModuleType(dct.pop("__qualname__"), dct.pop("__doc__",None))
mod.__dict__.update(dct)
return mod
class ns(metaclass=namespace):
class Desc:
def __get__(self, obj, cls):
return None
d = Desc()
if __name__=="__main__":
assert ns.d # success: descriptor protocol broken as expected
But there are probably deficiencies I have not uncovered.
