This implies to me that inject (option 1) must copy the original function and make modifications to the code object. This sounds to me that a proof-of-concept implementation would be doable using a byte-code hack.
That's what I propose as variant #2. But that would need byte code hacking -- or some core language ('magic') modifications.
I agree with D'Aprano, both option one and two would require modifying the code object, bytecode hacks, or core changes to the language, because, although the result is the same as your factory example the function is already compiled when it is given to the decorator. my best guess is that to implement this we would need to slightly redefine the way that python looks up variables by making it look in a special 'injected' dictionay after looking through locals and before globals. --Alex
