In my Python class the other day, the professor was going over decorators and he briefly mentioned that there had been this huge debate about the syntax and using the @ sign to signify decorators.
I read about the alternative forms proposed here (http:// www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0318/#syntax-alternatives). Has anyone thought about just using dec to declare a decorator? For example: dec dec2 dec dec1 def func(arg1, arg2, ...): pass -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
