Except that they *were* convincing, which is why Guido green lighted it for 2.6 and 3.0 . One of the purposes of the PEP, like all other PEPs, is so that in the future when someone comes up with some so-called "enhancement" they can't point to a previous feature addition (like class decorators) and say, "but _they_ didn't have to write a PEP to get the feature in, why do _I_?" > Or was there another purpose of the thread? I believe that Tomer just wanted to remind people that class decorators are slated for 2.6 and 3.0 if there was a PEP, and perhaps that he is encouraging someone to write one. - Josiah _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
