[Tutor] decorators

[Mary Morris]

I'm trying to compile a list of decorators from the source code at my
office.
I did this by doing a

candidate_line.find("@")

because all of our decorators start with the @ symbol.  The problem I'm
having is that the email addresses that are included in the comments are
getting included in the list that is getting returned.
I was thinking I could do a candidate_line.find(".com") to set the email
addresses apart, but how do I tell the computer to not include the lines it
finds with ".com" in them in the list?

The part of my code that I'm hoping to include this in looks like this:



#parse out the names of the decorators from those lines
        return_decorators= []
        for ele in subset_lines:
                candidate_line, line_number = ele
                candidate_line = candidate_line.strip()
                i = candidate_line.find("(")
                j = candidate_line.find("#")
                #if () is in the last spot
                if i == -1:
                        #if () is in the last spot and the decorator is in a
comment
                        if j == 0:
                                #get rid of ( and #
                                candidate_line = candidate_line[2:i]
                        #if () is in the last spot and the decorator is not
in a comment
                        elif j != 0:
                                candidate_line = candidate_line[1:i]
                #if there are not ()'s in the last spot
                elif i != -1:
                        #if there are not ()'s, but the decorator is in a
comment
                        if j == 0:
                                candidate_line = candidate_line[2:]
                        #if there are not ()'s and the decorator isn't in a
comment
                        elif j != 0:
                                candidate_line = candidate_line[1:]
                elif candidate_line.find(".com"):
                        candidate_line != candidate_line

                return_decorators.append((line_number, candidate_line))


        return return_decorators
