Scope of decorator argument

[Gregor Horvath]

Hi,

this:

class base(object):
    @adecorator(xy)
    def edit(self):
        print "edit"

class child(base):
    xy = 3


obviously fails because "xy" is not bound at class creation time of the
base object.

One solution could be delegation:

class base(object):
    @classmethod
    def edit(self):
        print "do the real work here"

class child(object):
    xy = 3
    mybase = base

    @adecorator(xy)
    def edit(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.mybase.edit(*args, **kwargs)

But then I have the ugly boiler plate delegation code in child.

Is there any other solution, probably with metaclasses ?
