Steven D'Aprano added the comment: Its not clear what you are asking for here. Do you think the current behaviour is a bug? Are you asking for a new feature? What do you want?
When the decorator is called, "self" doesn't exist, so of course @self.decorator *must* fail. What else could it do? Which instance should Python use, if there is no instance that exists yet? You say "many people rely on Decorators in class that accepts an instance of itself", but I doubt that. I've never wanted code like that, and the example you show wouldn't work even if "self" existed. Can you give a better example? Personally, I think this is a good learning experience for programmers, not something that needs to be fixed. Anyone who tries to decorate a method in a class by calling self.method is confused about classes, instances and decorators, and this is a good lesson for them to learn. ---------- nosy: +steven.daprano _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29848> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
