It shouldn't, at least for Cython 0.11 code (without inner functions). Decorators are evaluated at import time, so as long as the module isn't unloaded (which doesn't really work for extension modules in Py2 anyway), they are evaluated only once, and when compiled, the Cython builtins are actually evaluated at compile time. > Also, if you want to have cdef > classes, especially across various modules, you'll have to do that > anyways right now. (Patches for fixing this, e.g. via class > decorators, would be highly appreciated). Given that Cython supports class decorators (ok, not in a release version, but that will obviously change one day ;), I think the main obstacle here is that Py2 doesn't support them, so there's not that much to gain from using them in pure Python mode - unless you specifically target Cython and Py3.x only.
