Well, the typical usage for class decorators is to dynamically add
methods to a class, as you
have just seen. I also suggest you to look at this recipe by Raymond
Hettinger, about adding
comparison methods: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/576685/
Another typical use case is to register classes. You can also use
class decorators to modify
class (for instance, think of a "debug" class decorator replacing
methods with a debug-friendly
version of them).
