I'm starting to read about twisted and I keep seeing things like: [from twisted/internet/app.py]
def __init__(self, name, uid=None, gid=None, authorizer=None, authorizer_=None): """Initialize me. If uid and gid arguments are not provided, this application will default to having the uid and gid of the user and group who created it. @param name: a name @param uid: (optional) a POSIX user-id. Only used on POSIX systems. @param gid: (optional) a POSIX group-id. Only used on POSIX systems. """ _AbstractServiceCollection.__init__(self) self.name = name ... What does the "@param" mean? It looks like something meant to be machine readable. Alas, googling on "@param" doesn't work... It looks at first like a decorator, but that doesn't make much sense. -- George Young -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
