What about class variables, properties, etc? The "AttributeTargets" enum lists many options. I don't see cpython allowing decorators on properties. Also, decorators and attributes are different beasts. Allowing their syntax to be the same would make it difficult to distingush which way it should be used. I personally think attribute support should trump decorator support in IP. _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
