Systematic code examples: a guided tour of Transcrypt
=====================================================


One ready-to-run code example is worth more than ten lengthy descriptions. The *autotest and demo suite*, that is part of the distribution, is a collection of sourcecode fragments called *testlets*. These testlets are used for automated regression testing of Transcrypt against CPython.
Since they systematically cover all language constructs, they are also very effective as a learning tool. The testlets are arranged alphabetically by subject.

Decorators: function and class, with and without parameters
-----------------------------------------------------------

Transcrypt supports decorators on methods and classes. A decorator itself can be a function or an object with an overloaded __call__ operator. Parameterized decorator factories are also supported. Decorators on methods are not supported, except trivially for @classmethod. Methods decorated with @classmethod can be called on an object as demonstrated in the code below, not on a class. All flavours of properties are fully supported, though directly and not through decorator syntax. Extensive use of properties is demonstrated in the :ref:`properties testlet <autotest_properties>`.
