I'm going to close this one as it has been open for a long time and not attracted interest. Also, in practice this ambiguity doesn't seem to be an issue and people almost universally refer to anything usable with the @-notation as a decorator. Further, it has become common for tooling such as @lru_cache and @dataclass to be usable both with and without arguments, so the distinction no longer makes sense in some cases. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger resolution: -> out of date stage: needs patch -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue15474> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
