Also: @something def fun(): ... Is exactly the same as: def fun() ... fun = something(fun) So you can’t make a distinction based whether a given usage is as a decoration. -CHB On Tue, Mar 19, 2019 at 12:26 PM Greg Ewing <greg.ewing@canterbury.ac.nz> wrote:

`my_decorator(foo)` when foo is a callable will always look like `@my_decorator` applied to function foo, because that's how the language is designed.
I don't think it's worth doing anything to change that. Everywhere else in the language, there's a very clear distinction between 'foo' and 'foo()', and you confuse them at your peril. I don't see why decorators should be any different.
