Re: [Python-ideas] Problems (and solutions?) in writing decorators

`my_decorator(foo)` when foo is a callable will always look like `@my_decorator` applied to function foo, because that's how the language is designed.

I don't think it's worth doing anything to change that. Everywhere else in the language, there's a very clear distinction between 'foo' and 'foo()', and you confuse them at your peril. I don't see why decorators should be any different. -- Greg
