Okay, maybe I just didn't understand the websites that were given as examples as to 'decoration'. I first came across the unusual '@' when I was browsing through some extreme beginner's information on os.x method descriptions. I asked some other people about it and they had no idea what it meant. I don't _THINK_ that the decoration definition fits, though, because the examples that I saw it in had it prefixing an if conditional & a for loop.
ie: @if os.exists(foo): etc etc and @for blah: etc etc does this mean that the person writing the script defined a function instead of the standard conditional and loop? I can't imagine that would be the case because, as I said, this was very beginning level documentation. -Damon Getsman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
