[Python-Dev] Questions about '@' in pep 318

Hello,

I think @ before def are unacceptable because they aren't too Pythonic
and thus break style and aestetics of Python. If we absolutely need
those decorators, I propose to use existing construct which has some
resemblance with other places of Python:

def func(x, y, z) % decorator:
  ...


and

def func(x, y, z) % (decorator1, decorator2, ...):
  ...


this has a meaning of "applying" decorators to the function (method).
And it has minimal impact on readability.


Sincerely yours, Roman A.Suzi
