I like it.

Probably, I'd like even more:

<staticmethod, foomethod>
def foo(): pass

I think these kind of proposal is extetically pleasing to my eye, has
more or less all the pros of the list-before-def syntax, and wouldn't
have its main drawback: the "magic" behaviour of evaluating a string,
since <a, b, c> is no python object.

A drawback would be that no mainstream language uses this syntax, but I
think the C# one is sufficiently similar.

(and excuse me for proposing Just Another Syntax :-))
