Aye, I remember that as well, but apparently the thread title for the discussion was sufficiently unrelated to the eventual topic that I can't find it with Google. Anyway, I think the outcome of that particular thread was something like: 1. The most reasonable-sounding enhancement request is the one to allow subscripts: "@deco_group[deco_id]" 2. If we're going to relax the restrictions at all, it probably makes sense to just allow arbitrary expressions 3. You can already use arbitrary expressions in practice by defining "def deco(x): return x", and then writing "@deco(whatever_expression_you_want)" 4. Nobody was motivated enough to actually implement the change and then ask Guido if he'd changed his mind on the topic since 2004 Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
