Python feature Functools gains a new decorator. `Defaults' allows its caller to placehold non-None defaults; it becomes unnecessary to know the value a place defaults to. It might be useful in cases where you want the calling signature to look alike for a group of dispatched functions and the added overhead the decorator adds isn't a problem. But you probably wouldn't want that overhead all the time, so having it as an optional decorator would be good. -Ron Adam What -do- you think about it? _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
