[Python-Dev] PEP 318: Can't we all just get along?

There was a poll linked from the decorators wiki, that now says
(consider the poll now closed).  If it were a democracy, the standings
are:

A. @classmethod def foo(): (107)   16%
C1. def foo() [classmethod]: (269) 39%
E1. def foo(): @classmethod (311)  45%

Both C1 and E1, which are the clear favorites, have been previously
rejected by Guido for various reasons.

If I were to vote between C1 ad E1, I'd say E1, if only because its
structure encourages reuse.
