Doh. That's true... What about:
class foo:
def bar(arg1, arg2):
| staticmethod
| interface(int, string)
""" This is my doc string """
for i in range(arg1):
print arg2
I've been convinced that the list-after-def is bad, but still loathe @
as painful, and really, really, really hate how the @decorators do not
fit into our indented world of grouping stuff together well. I think a
keyword like, say, "using" instead of | would be even better, but...
:)
class foo:
def blah(self):
return None
| staticmethod
| interface(int, string)
def bar(arg1, arg2):
""" This is my doc string """
for i in range(arg1):
print arg2
In that example, only knowing "the bar goes down" clearly connects the
decorators to the right method. And if 'blah' was one of those
bad-styled one-line-functions...
