A hybrid approach would be possible, taking from both approaches (decorator and keyword):
* a keyword to declare in the body of the function that a variable is of the "own" kind. * function objects would grow an __own__ attribute which is a dict-like object: - f.__own__["i"] would return the contents of the cell that the own variable "i" refers to - f.__own__["i"] = 42 would set the cell contents of the own variable "i" to 42 (or some other equivalent mechanism) * then one could create a kind of "inject" decorator.
Any reason not to just use the function itself, as opposed to a designated dictionary? Right now, we don't have a good way to refer to a function either before it defined (decorator time) or while it is being defined, but that seems like a subset of what you would need for the above proposal. (Of course, I did like the functionality of PEP 3130.) -jJ
