Re: http://www.amazon.com/Guide-Learning-Python-Decorators-ebook/dp/B006ZHJSIM
I got the Kindle book on Python decorators. Quite inexpensive. I didn't give it my highest rating though, for two reasons: (a) there's some representing that an exhaustive treatment of the function arguments and parameters topic, but the use of * (asterisk) on its own, to section off keyword-only parameters, is not mentioned and (b) the authors hint at the many useful and wonderful things decorators might do, but are somewhat shy on examples. One would think just a few more pages of clever examples would round out the treatment. Other than those two omissions, I thought it was pretty strong. The main goal was to get to where your decorator function might itself take arguments, what that means. There are no examples of using a class as a decorator that I recall, nor of decorating a class. I should double check that. Kirby _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
