There are a few changes in the documentation: I removed the ``decorator_factory`` example, which was confusing some of my users, and I removed the part about exotic signatures in the Python 3 documentation, since Python 3 does not support them. -Notice that there is no support for Python 3 `function annotations`_ -since it seems premature at the moment, when most people are -still using Python 2.X. Finally ``decorator`` cannot be used as a class decorator and the `functionality introduced in version 2.3`_ has been removed. That |
