Hi, I'm trying to attach some attributes to functions and methods, similar to Java annotations and .NET attributes. I also want to use a convenient decorator for it, something along the lines of
@attr(name="xander", age=10) def foo(): ... Assigning attributes to the function will work, as will assigning keys and values to a dictionary in an attribute. But if there are more decorators in the way, this could fail: @onedec @attr(...) @twodec def foo(): ... Given 'foo' now, how do I find the attributes? Assigning to a global attribute registry (some interpreter-global dictionary), although less desirable, might have been acceptable, but then how do I identify the function after it's been wrapped in more decorators? Also, it may be nice to have the following work as well: @attr(name="Xander") @attr(age=10) @somedec @attr(hobby="knitting") def foo(): ... Any thoughts? Am I rehashing something old that my search skills didn't uncover? Thanks! Ori. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
