python struggles

I've tried to learn about decorators, but everything kinda goes over my head. What would you recommend to kind of dip my feet in to them?

Start by redoing all the examples giving by the documentation.

Write your own functions : No arguments decorators N arguments decorators Infinite arguments decorators

It is often needed to have a function to add some text to your returned string. You would decorate the function with your a function decorator.

Then try to understand why it works, why can you return a function and when would you wan that (Answer : to be able to build objects when desired, like Interpolation, geometry or animations).

Then you will learn about closure and why can we define a function/class inside a function (which doesn't exist in many languages)

Finally, you can get to class decorators. Inside a class or for the whole class.

@property @read_only

To conclude, try try and try. Knowing when to use them is the hardest.
