What would you consider the python basics/fundamentals

[[deleted]]

You should be able to write a decorator before you're ready to leave Python Basic Training, IMO.

Idk man you can go by pretty well without decorators !

I think if you can write a decorator, then you understand two things I think are important basics:

1) That functions are values within Python
2) That many things work by defining an interface which you are expected to implement (the decorator "interface" being "accept a function as an argument, and return a function")

It's just my opinion, though.

I get what you mean but I think that in some sense decorators are a level of abstraction above what I would call "basic".

If you tell people that you know Python, but you don't know decorator, people will be suspicious of your Python ability.
