In most decorator tutorials, it's taught using functions inside functions. Isn't this inefficient because every time the decorator is called, you're redefining the function, which takes up much more memory? I prefer defining decorators as classes with __call__ overridden. Is there a reason why decorators are taught with functions inside functions? -- -Surya Subbarao
