Thanks bearophile,
I prefer not to use docstrings for metadata.
1. Not interfering with the other accepted docstring uses may be
difficult (doctests, epydoc)
2. It's impractical for attributes generated by code:
@attr(reference_profile_stats=pstats.Stats(foo.profile))
def foo():

Thanks!
Now I see it's accepted to assume nice decorators that update __dict__.
At least until __decorates__ or something similar is added...

Thanks Paddy - you're showing normal use of function attributes.
They're still hidden when wrapped by an uncooperative decorator.

The decorator module may be helpful in defining cooperative decorators:

In Python 2.5 there are also functools.wraps and
functools.update_wrapper:

Assigning attributes to the function will work, as will
oripel:
Maybe this is a silly suggestion, the docstring is already overloaded,
but it may be used for this too:
def foo():

...
@ATTR name=Xander
@ATTR age=10
@ATTR hobby=knitting
...
(Or somethins similar without the @). Later you can retrive the
attributes

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,
