I wanted the name well before the function is called, actually even before an instance of the class is created. Anyway, I 've solved my problem with other means. Just out curiosity though, has there been any talk about actual method decorators? I guess you can work around them with the introduction of class decorators or even now with meta-classes, but you have to wrap methods manually with no syntactic sugar. Cheers, Themis
