[Python-ideas] @setattr(obj, [name])

It would be nice if setattr() was extended to allow usage as a decorator: class Foo(object): pass @setattr(Foo) def bar(self): print 'bar' @setattr(Foo, 'baz') def get_baz(self): print 'baz'

...

...

Foo().bar() bar Foo().baz() baz

Here's a pure Python implementation: _setattr = setattr def setattr(obj, *args): if len(args) >= 2: return _setattr(obj, *args) return lambda f: _setattr(obj, args[0] if args else f.__name__, f) or f Thoughts ? George
