def ... decorate

[Roman Suzi]

Bingo!

Just replace decorate with "from" and the nice syntax is found:

    def f:
        staticmethod
        grammarrule('statement : expression')
        version("Added in 2.4")
        deprecatedmethod
        type_(None)
    from self, p:
        """docstring here"""
        print p[1]

or special short variant for one-liners:

    def n staticmethod from (self, p): return p[1]

(Though I wonder why not just

    n = staticmethod(lambda self, p: p[1])

)


(I've added details to the PythonDecorators wiki)
