> I don't really see a win with this style, though, over giving test a parameter, and just using standard function calls (I had a little play with coroutines on the way but that's really overkill for this).

Well I expected decorators to be more flexible, i.e. to redefine test() by putting a wrapper around it and not to built a new decorator @test (!?!)

But I'm not too proficient with Python, and I'm misunderstanding the code.

(well, there must be a reason why I prefer Perl's syntactic flexibility. ;-)

I suppose def _(a) is a way to workaround the limitations of lamda?

Is the name _ special (magic) or is it just a convention?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
