[Python-Dev] PEP 318: Decorators last before colon

[Guido van Rossum]

I've produced a patch for my version:

python.org/sf/926860

This patch (deco.diff) patches compile.c to recognize
the following form of decorators:

[list_of_expressions]
def func(args):
    ...

The list of expressions should contain at least one
element and should not be a list comprehension,
otherwise no special treatment is taken. (An empty list
has no effect either way.)

There's a simple test suite, Lib/test/test_decorators.py.

I don't expect to have time to discuss this until tonight.
