Hmm. You have conflated defining the function with defining the parameters. My argument is that the syntax doesn't obviously imply either interpretation. I advocate a 'nonstatic' decorator. Also, I don't think a 'static' decorator, had Python taken the other interpretation, would have been that bad a combination. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
