I'd prefer Jeff's syntax to the current, but it'd be even trickier than the current code. The current code checks the attributes of a class when it's instantiated and if they're a Widget, moves them to the internal _widgets list (which is the same that is populated either way). If you were to do it without the attributes you'd have to somehow detect that you were within a class context in the Widget __classinit__ and call some method on the containing widget in order to register yourself. Alternatively you'd have to detect that there are widgets declared inside the outer scope. Either way, I don't see how you're going to do it without mucking around with interpreter guts. Maybe it'd be possible if you were using some global value but that seems excessively hackish. I won't say it can't be done, but I'm curious to hear your plan.
