Having the original function available as __wrapped__ would be really cool, although I'm not quite sure what the behaviour should be in corner cases like:
* The decorator returns the original function (I suppose a reference to itself is okay?) * The decorator returns the a function that is already decorating something else.
Those are the corner cases that make it more appropriate to have this as a behaviour of functools.update_wrapper() (and hence the functools.wraps() decorator) rather than built in to the decorator machinery. The change will just add the following line to update_wrapper(): wrapper.__wrapped__ = wrapped Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
