It would also help as there is no explicit mention of what the decorator gets passed (I assume the class object, but it is actually not specified anywhere). Some pseudo-code of what exactly is happening wouldn't hurt to more concretely specify it. And you probably want to submit this to the PEP editors to get it checked in as Talin keeps talking about class decorators as if they are already in Py3K. =) -Brett _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
