Not directly, but yes. Both J2 and A1 are "limited" to putting just
values that resolve to a function in the decorator list. In practice
this means that if you REALLY want to do things like conditional
expressions you can:

Given:
x=1
def memoise(f):
   print "memoise"
   return f

def esiomem(f):
   print "esiomem"
   return f

Using current syntax: (untested)

class Foo:
   @staticmethod
   @eval("(memoise,esiomem)[x==0]")
   def Hoo(Who, *args):
      print "Yoo", Who

Using proposed J2: (tested)
class Foo:
   using:
      staticmethod
      eval("(memoise,esiomem)[x==0]")
   def Hoo(Who, *args):
      print "Yoo", Who

Personally that strikes me as relatively evil, but it works.

Regards,


Michael.
