Hi, this:
class base(object): @adecorator(xy) def edit(self): print "edit" class child(base): xy = 3 obviously fails because "xy" is not bound at class creation time of the base object. One solution could be delegation: class base(object): @classmethod def edit(self): print "do the real work here" class child(object): xy = 3 mybase = base @adecorator(xy) def edit(self, *args, **kwargs): self.mybase.edit(*args, **kwargs) But then I have the ugly boiler plate delegation code in child. Is there any other solution, probably with metaclasses ? -- Servus, Gregor -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
