I would first try a good IDE. I don't have it installed at the moment 
but I
think pydev for Eclipse can find decorator definitions. Combined with
a power search to locate all uses of decorators that might be easier.

Just a thought and I might be remembering wrong. But if you are doing
serious Python coding Eclipse and PyDev are a good combination.

It should also be possible to get GNU tags to handle decoratiors too - 
it
already works with Pythion and vim will work with tags...

In other words don't be too quick to jump to a programming solution,
OS level tools may be a better first step. Especially if you are on 
*nix.

HTH,
