Title Body

Note : The accepted answer on the other question shows how to use the parent decorater. The accepted answer on this question shows moving the decorator to the module scope. EDIT: Using the previous example was a bad idea. Hopefully this is more clear: class A: def deco( func ): print repr(func) def wrapper( self, *args ): val = func( *args ) self.do_something() return val return wrapper def do_something( self ): # Do something print 'A: Doing something generic for decoration' @deco def do_some_A_thing ( self ): # Do something print 'A: Doing something generic' class B ( A ): @deco def do_some_B_thing( self ): # Do something print "B: Doing something specific" a = A() b = B() a.do_some_A_thing() b.do_some_B_thing() #Expected Output: #A: Doing something generic #A: Doing something generic for decoration #B: Doing something specific #A: Doing something generic for decoration This code generates a NameError: name 'deco' is not defined inside B. The decorator needs to be inside the class scope because I require access to stored state. Third Edit: On Sven's suggestions, I tried this: class A: def deco( func ): def wrapper( self, *args ): val = func( *args ) self.do_something(*args) return val return wrapper def do_something( self ): # Do something print 'A: Doing something generic for decoration' @deco def do_some_A_thing ( self ): # Do something print 'A: Doing something generic' deco = staticmethod(deco) class B ( A ): @A.deco def do_some_B_thing( self ): # Do something print "B: Doing something specific" a = A() b = B() a.do_some_A_thing() b.do_some_B_thing(
