The whole point would be to keep on developing perfectly normal Python2.4 code, but have some means of getting it to run on 2.3, without modification. > http://dirtsimple.org/2004/11/using-24-decorators-with-22-and-23.html Certainly an interesting approach. Perhaps this can be combined with a simple textual transformation of the source code which simply replaces @decorator with add_assignment_advisor(decorator) ... or something along those lines. Still, I'd prefer to find a solution on the AST level, but I guess that's not possible without re-writing the praser. Crazy idea ... would it be possible to shadow 2.3's parser with one stolen from 2.4 ? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
