you're not listening. "def" is not a declaration, it's an executable statement, just like "print" and ordinary assignments and "import" and "class" and all the others. the "def" statement itself is *executed* to define the function; it takes the argument specification and the function code body, and creates a new function object. the resulting object is assigned to an ordinary variable. the only thing that differs if you add a decorator to the mix is that the function object is passed to the decorator function *before* it's assigned to a variable. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
