I would think that would be a great name, it’s more explicit and fits more in with its siblings “lru_cache” and “cached_property”. Not to imply that there is a consensus to move forward, I would be interested in knowing what the next steps would be if there was. Would this require a PEP to be submitted? Or is it similar enough to existing functionality that it might not require one?

Or are you saying that once could be interpreted to mean I cannot do that 2nd def?
That is what I was saying -- that `once`, all by itself, could mean multiple things.
That's a good point. A more explicit spelling would be `@call_once`, what do you think?
(that's also the C++ spelling, incidentally, but I suspect most beginners won't care about that ;-))
