Auto-register class methods using decorator

Question

Not as beautiful or elegant, but probably the simplest way if you only need this in one class only:

_registry = {}
class MyClass(object):
    def register(*prop):
        def decorator(meth):
            _registry[MyClass.__name__ + '.' + meth.__name__] = prop
        return decorator

    @register('prop1', 'prop2')
    def my_method(self, arg1, arg2):
        pass
    @register('prop3', 'prop4')
    def my_other_method(self, arg1, arg2):
        pass

    del register
