Do you have any interest in pursuing this?

Actually not too bad for functools. Does this take a proposal? -I- am God-awful at lengthy technical writing.

You might be able to get away without a PEP, but you'll definitely need to post an implementation patch to the bug tracker (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=5470&atid=105470). Once you've posted your implementation, you should send an email to python-dev asking folks what they think about it. Be sure to give some code examples that using this decorator would simplify. STeVe -- I'm not *in*-sane. Indeed, I am so far *out* of sane that you appear a tiny blip on the distant coast of sanity. --- Bucky Katt, Get Fuzzy
