|Or better:
|
|def Doc(docstring, **kw):
|    def fDoc(f):
|        f.__doc__ = docstring
|        f.__dict__.update(kw)
|        return f
|class Klass(object):
|    def meth(this, that) [Doc("Bob's your uncle.", Author="me")]:
|        pass

I don't understand this version.  I see the idea that you want to pass
arguments to the "function constructor"--but where does the name 'fDoc'
come from?  How does 'Doc()' know to call 'fDoc()' (which I presume it
wants to)?

Yours, Lulu...
