One thing I added awhile back to PEP 318 as an open issue is that for ease of writing wrappers the func_name attribute of a function object should be writable. For example, in situations where the decorator returns a new function object (often, I would think) it would really be nice if that new function object had the same name as the undecorated function. Consider: def a(func): def _inner(*args, **kwds): return func(*args, **kwds) return _inner @a def func(*args, **kwds): print args print kwds print "func's name:", func.func_name I realize you can use new.function() to create a new function object, but that seems like a fair amount of extra complexity just to change the function's name. I'd prefer it if the decorator could be written as: def a(func): def _inner(*args, **kwds): return func(*args, **kwds) _inner.func_name = func.func_name return _inner That fails because func_name is readonly. Any chance this restriction can be loosened up? Skip
