Param decorator - can you suggest improvements

I thought it would be interesting to try to implement Scheme SRFI 39 (Parameter objects) in Python.
The idea is that you define a function that returns a default value. If you call that function with no arguments, it returns the current default. If you call it with an argument, it resets the default to the value passed in. Here's a working implementation:
# http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=240845
from functools import wraps
class Param(object):
def __init__(self, default):
self.default = default
#self.func = func
def __call__(self, func, *args):
@wraps(func)
def wrapper(*args):
#print 'calling hi'
if len(args) >0:
self.default = args[0]
#print len(args), ' ', args
return self.default # self.func(*args)
return wrapper
@Param(42)
def hi(newval):
pass
print hi() # 42
print hi(12) # 12
print hi() # 12
hi(13) # sets it to 13
print hi() # 13
Can anyone suggest a better implementation?
