[Python-ideas] Re: Decorators for class non function properties

I think a property decorator can be useful, because you consider the simplest case with:

class MyClass:
    @my_property
    name = arg

but consider it can generate the following code:

class MyClass:
    def name(self):
        ...

     def see_name(self):
        ...

Hmmm. I don't really like it, but worst case, you can do this with __set_name__ and mutating the target class. You wouldn't decorate it, just assign a my_property object to the name you want.

Alternatively, decorate the class itself with something that does whatever changes you want.
