[BangPypers] Expressing meta-data about classes, methods, variables, parameters in python

[Sidharth Kuruvila]

H Heshan,

  Can you explain why you'd want to do this?

You can write

def f():
     print f.a

f.a = 4

f()

But I can't see you would want to do something like that. Maybe if you  
give a use case. Someone can come up with a solution.

Regards,
Sidharth
