This is by far the best explanation I've seen so far of the rationale behind @before/@after. It should definitely go in the PEP. Can you provide a similar justification for @around? Including why it should go around everything else rather than between the @before/@afters and the normal method. Also, why have three things (@before/@after/@around) instead of just one thing (@around with a next-method call). -- 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
