a question about decorator

[kyo guan]

Hi:

please look at this code.

def A():
print 'warp in A'
def why(self, *arg, **kw):
print 'in A'
print self
print arg
print kw
#self(*arg, **kw)

return why

class T(object):
@A()
def test(g, out):
print 'in test', out

it will out put:

warp in A
in A
<function test at 0x00BF0C70>
()
{}

the function why will be called, why? there is no code to call it.

Kyo.

There is: ``@A()``. Parenthesis means *calling* `A`. Then `A` returns
`why` and that is then used as decorator function, i.e. called with
`T.test` as argument.
