If I define a decorator like: def t(x) : def I(x) : return x return I
and use it like: @t(X) def foo(a) : # definition of foo... pass or maybe this: @t(X) @(Y) def bar(a) : # The definition of bar... Will in encounter much of a penalty in executing 'foo' or 'bar'? If so, is there a way to define t such that Python knows it is the identity function and short-circuit evaluation? Thanks in advance. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
