Re: [Python-ideas] Quick idea: defining variables from functions that take the variable name

This could be done via a decorator:

@recordbinding x = obj

to result in the compiler generating the following code:

x = obj obj.recordbinding('x', 2)

I like the idea of using a decorator because it's familiar syntax and we all already (think we) know what it means. However, in this case, wouldn't

@recordbinding x = obj

translate to

x = obj recordbinding(x)

?

The way you've written it, obj must be a type that implements the recordbinding method, but that's not what I'd expect.
