Hi all,

Did you know that you can actually abuse decorators to do this with existing syntax? Check out this collection of evil uses of decorators:
There's also this post from Guido a few years back in python-dev, which does something similar using metaclasses: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-January/076194.html I'm not sure it does exactly the same, but it is also an interesting approach. (Although I like the decorator syntax more.) The discussion that follows in that thread may also be of interest for this discussion. Ralph
