Good day all,

I am learning Python and came up to decorators.

Thequestion is: Why does function FoodList return value None?

Because the function doesn't return anything, and in Python
a function that doesn't explicitly return anything returns None.

Thanks for not just pasting it into the post, like so:

class Logger:

def __init__(self, function):

self.func = function

def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):

print "Function %s called with args = %s, kwargs = %s" %
(self.func.__name__, str(args), str(kwargs))

self.func(*args, **kwargs)

@Logger

def FoodList(a, b, c="spam"):

text = "Food is %s, %s, %s" % (a, b, c)

print text

return text

if __name__ == "__main__":

a = FoodList("eggs", "potatoes")

print a

Thank you,

Because the __call__ in Logger doesn't return the value of self.func.
