Hmm, so it's not the case that @before methods are called "before" all other methods. That makes it even more confusing. I'm now even more of the opinion that this is too complicated for Python's first generic function system.

Relying on people knowing about CLOS in order to follow this stuff doesn't seem like a good idea. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
