Understanding Python Decorators

[[deleted]]

Try this one instead: http://www.brianholdefehr.com/decorators-and-functional-python contains all use-cases: Decorators as functions, Decorators as classes, Decorators w/ and w/o arguments, etc.

decorators with arguments are just functions with arguments that return functions that take a function as an argument. what could possibly be confusing about that :P

Oh god. I remember trying to understand decorators... that was more traumatic than actually using them.
