There is no practical use for decorators IMHO They are syntactic sugar added to the language to make some things that were already possible a little tidier looking (things like class/static methods etc) I don;t think there is anything that you need decorators to achieve that you can'tdo without them. In that respect they are like python's support for lambdas - nice to have but not essential to the language. Others may feel differently! :-) Alan G. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
