Actually, I think Java uses Python decoration syntax for annotations, but I have been wrong before.

I'm pretty sure Python picked it up after Java did. But, I don't think it's a case of imitation; it's just that the glyph '@' happened not to have syntactic meaning attached to it and it looks okay.
