Personally I often just copy paste an existing decorator and then tweak it instead of writing from scratch because it's too confusing and error prone to do that.

Thank you, Anders, for your honesty. I also find writing decorators a bit hard. It seems to be something I have to learn anew each time I do it. Particularly for the pattern @deco(arg1, arg2) def fn(arg3, arg4): # function body Perhaps doing something with partial might help here. Anyone here interested in exploring this? -- Jonathan
