HISTORY ---------- 3.0.1. Improved the error message in case a bound/unbound method is passed instead of a function and documented this case; that should make life easier for users like Gustavo Nerea (16/02/2009) 3.0. New major version introducing ``FunctionMaker`` and the two-argument syntax for ``decorator``. Moreover, added support for getting the source code. This version is Python 3.0 ready. Major overhaul of the documentation, now hosted on http://packages.python.org/decorator (14/12/2008). 2.3.2. Small optimization in the code for decorator factories. First version with the code uploaded to PyPI (01/12/2008) 2.3.1. Set the zipsafe flag to False, since I want my users to have the source, not a zipped egg (25/07/2008) 2.3.0. Added support for writing decorator factories with minimal effort (feature requested by Matthew Wilson); implemented it by enhancing 'decorator' to a Python 2.6 class decorator (10/07/2008) 2.2.0. Added a note on 'inspect.getsource' not working for decorated functions; referenced PEP 326; highlighted the snippets in the documentation with pygments; slightly simplified the code (31/07/2007) 2.1.0. Replaced the utility 'update_wrapper' with 'new_wrapper' and updated the documentation accordingly; fixed and improved the doctester argument parsing, signaled by Sam Wyse (3/07/2007) 2.0.1. Included the licence in the source code too; fixed a versioning issue by adding the version number to the zip file and fixing the link to it on the web page, thanks to Philip Jenvey (17/02/2007) 2.0. Rewritten and simplified the implementation; broken compatibility with previous versions (in minor ways); added the utility function 'update_wrapper' instead of 'newfunc' (13/01/2007) 1.1. 'decorator' instances now have attributes __name__, __doc__, __module__ and __dict__ coming from the associated caller function; included the licence into the documentation (02/12/2006) 1.0. Added LICENCE.txt; added a setuptools-friendly setup.py script contributed by Luke Arno (10/08/2006) 0.8.1. Minor fixes to the documentation (21/06/2006) 0.8. Improved the documentation, added the 'caveats' section (16/06/2006) 0.7.1. Improved the tail_recursive example (15/05/2006) 0.7. Renamed 'copyfunc' into 'newfunc' and added the ability to copy the signature from a model function; improved '_decorator' to set the '__module__' attribute too, with the intent of improving error messages; updated the documentation (10/05/2006) 0.6. Changed decorator.__call__ so that the module somewhat works even for Python 2.3 (but the signature-preserving feature is lost) (20/12/2005) 0.5.2. Minor changes to the documentation; improved 'getattr_' and shortened 'locked' (28/06/2005) 0.5.1. Minor corrections to the documentation (20/05/2005) 0.5. Fixed a bug with out-of-the-mind signatures, added a check for reserved names in the argument list and simplified the code (thanks to Duncan Booth) (19/05/2005) 0.4.1. Fixed a typo in the documentation (thanks to Anthon van der Neut) (17/05/2005) 0.4. Added getinfo, some tests and improved the documentation (12/05/2005) 0.3. Simplified copyfunc, renamed deferred to delayed and added the nonblocking example (10/05/2005) 0.2. Added copyfunc, improved the multithreading examples, improved the doctester program (09/05/2005) 0.1.1. Added the license specification and two docstrings (06/05/2005) 0.1. Initial release (04/05/2005)
