I'd like to implement a decorator that would rename the method which it decorates. Since it's a tricky thing in general involving all sorts of __magic__ I thought I would ask around first before writing something buggy :)
It should work something like this: class myclass( object ): @rename( 'hello' ) def method( self ): print 'ok' # tests inst = myclass( ) inst.method( ) # raise an AttributeError inst.hello( ) # prints 'ok' myclass.method # raise an AttributeError myclass.hello # prints <unbound method myclass.hello> assert 'method' in dir( myclass ) is False assert 'hello' in dir( myclass ) is True Any ideas?
