This is, unfortunately, a sad commentary on the evolution of the language 
over the past few years.  One of the things that made Python so attractive 
was how simple it was, and yet powerful.

Things like decorators and metaclasses certainly add power, but they add 
complexity too.  It's no longer a simple language.
