Given that now functions can have attributes, wouldn't be better
stop pushing ugly, risky and cryptic syntax for poor's man static ?
IMO one thing is backward compatibility, another is pushing the
uglyness in the future for no good reasons.

I am talking about the python docs that everywhere are apparently
advocating this approach for local cache implementation. Is this
doing any good for newbies approaching python ?

Or may be this is more pythonic ? If yes... why ?
