Why won't this decorator work?

Sort of around the middle of the PEP 318 section.

But I think I understand now. I was thinking the decorator I made was
creating move(roll_die()), which I see now that it is not. Perhaps a
decorator isn't what I need in my case, although it seems like it
might be.

Basically what I want to do is this: I first to need to roll a die to
get a random number, then pass that number to the move method of a
Player class. Can this be done with a decorator, or is it better just
to do it like move(roll_die()) and be done with it?
