[SQLObject] errors in formencode for python-2.3

[Pau A. <pa...@sm...>]

When executing python setup.py for FormEncode in python-2.3, it fails. 
These are the errors:

python setup.py install --old-and-unmanageable -O1 --skip-build --root 
/home/pau/LnxZip/tmp/python-formencode-0.2.3-1-root-pau 
--record=INSTALLED_FILES.tmprunning install

/home/pau/LnxZip/tmp/python-formencode-0.2.3-1-root-pau/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/formencode/formgen.py 
to formgen.pyc
   File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/formencode/formgen.py", line 8
     @dispatch.generic()
     ^

/home/pau/LnxZip/tmp/python-formencode-0.2.3-1-root-pau/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/formencode/sqlformgen.py 
to sqlformgen.pyc
   File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/formencode/sqlformgen.py", line 
11
     @makeform.when('isinstance(obj, SQLObject) or (isinstance(obj, type) 
and issubclass(obj, SQLObject))')
     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

It looks like the @ is not supported.
Should FormEncode work in 2.3?

Thanks
Pau
