This list is intended for discussing the development of Django, so questions
about its implementation are exactly on topic.

I assume you're referring to the places like line 122 (which you linked to)
and line 140, where instead of
@classmethod
def x(cls,...):
...
you see
def x(cls,...):
...
x = classmethod(x)
The reason for this is historic: Decorators were only introduced into Python
at version 2.4, and Django<1.2 still supported Python 2.3. Some code hasn't
changed since then. Now that you pointed it out, these specific lines are
likely to change soon :)
Thanks,
Shai.
