Here is a hack to implement attribute access (say for a Web framework)
the way I always wanted it to be. I say "hack" since it uses sys._getframe
and it sets the locals of a class, which is not recommended. Still, it seems
to work. I post the recipe here since since I would like to know if
1. it really works;
2. if yes, is there a chance that it will not work in future versions of Python;
3. will it work under Jython?
Even if it turns out it does not work, still I like the feeling of it ;-)
Here is the decorator which builds the list of the public methods in the
actual scope (it may be the module level scope or the class level scope):
import sys
def public(f):
loc = sys._getframe(1 ).f_locals
if not "__public__ " in loc:
loc["__public__ "] = [f]
else:
loc["__public__ "].append(f)
return f
Here is the usage for global functions:
@public
def g_a():
pass
@public
def g_b():
pass
print __public__ # [g_a, g_b]
Here is the usage for methods:
class D(object):
@public
def m_a(self):
pass
@public
def m_b(self):
pass
print __public__ # [m_a, m_b]
It seems to work for nested classes too:
class Outer(object):
@public
def m_a(self):
pass
@public
def m_b(self):
pass
class Inner(object):
@public
def i_a(self):
pass
@public
def i_b(self):
pass
print "inner",__publi c__ #[i_a, i_b]
print "outer",__publi c__ #[m_a, m_b]
Of course, it does not work at the function scope, as in this example:
def container():
@public
def i_a(self):
pass
@public
def i_b(self):
pass
print "container" , __public__ # [g_a, g_b] and not [i_a, i_b]
container()
However, I do not regard this as a problem, since I only want to define
public/private functions/methods at the module and class level, not at the
function level. In my experiments settings the locals at the class scope works,
but I wonder how reliable is this, wrt to future versions of Python or alternative
implementations .

At Europython Guido discussed with everyone the outstanding issue with
decorators and there was a clear majority in favour of having them, which
was good. From where I was sitting it looked like about 20:20 split on the
following syntaxes:
1 def func(arg1, arg2, arg3) :
function...
2 def func(arg1, arg2, arg3):

As far as I know, the proposed @decorator syntax will be the first
time that two logical lines of python with the same indentation will
not be independent of one another. Previously, when looking at:
some_python(code)
and_some_more = stuff
there was no need to look at the the first line in order to know what

Decorators can generate endless debate about syntax, but can also

Actually I was waiting for decorators to play a few tricks that were
syntactically too ugly to be even imaginable for Python 2.3.
One trick is to use decorators to implement multimethods. A while ago
Howard Stearns posted here a recipe to implement generic functions
a.k.a multimethods.

I've read the J2 proposal up and down several times, pondered all the
issues, and slept on it for a night, and I still don't like it enough
to accept it. The only reason to accept it would be to pacify the
supporters of the proposal, and that just isn't a good enough reason
in language design.
However, it got pretty darn close! I'm impressed with how the
community managed to pull together and face the enormous...

Probably a bit of weird question. I realise decorators shouldn't be
executed until the function they are defined with are called, but is
there anyway for me to find all the decorates declared in a file when
I import it? Or perhaps anyway to find the decorators by loading the
file by other methods (with out simply parsing it by hand).
Basically what I'm looking for is a way to, given a python file, look
through that file and find all the...

Proposal:
When an attribute lookup fails for an object, check the top-level
(and local scope?) for a corresponding function or attribute and apply
it as the called attribute if found, drop through to the exception
otherwise. This is just syntactic sugar.
