I have a similar question. IIUC __prepare__ is always a class method to be used in metaclasses, so why isn't it also special-cased so that it need not be decorated as a such? Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules. The less special cases a language has, the more likely it is to fit inside your brain, and that's a good thing. ChrisA
