Python Tutorial: Decorators - Dynamically Alter The Functionality Of Your Functions

In this Python tutorial, we will be learning about decorators. Decorators are a way to dynamically alter the functionality of your functions. So for example, if you wanted to log information when a function is run, you could use a decorator to add this functionality without modifying the source code of your original function. So let's take a look at how these decorators work and a few ways in which we can use them. Let's get started.

@basicallypitharous1604 3 жыл бұрын

So basically, a decorator is a function, it's created by taking a argument which will be a function by assigning a variable to an argument which is a function that when executes displays some kind of functionality, this variable is turn into a function by using closures since it assigned its self and returned it and made it a function with that, it took advantage of closures creating a decorator? I don't fully understand but I'll get there

The way you teach programming is really nice! Its very basic, it is paced very well, and it is very logical. In addition you use code snippets that are really concise. Many other videos are either too fast, or too slow, or often simply lack the logic. Often times one can see videos, or written programs but when the teacher doesn't tell why it should be done in a certain way, the inspiration is missing, and then it is very tempting to pick up bad habits that may look simpler, but are inefficient methods. Keep up your good work, and every now and then when I will look for efficiency, I will search for your name :) Now I wish you were a data scientist at Intel where I work.

However, to my own surprise, after I finished the video, I managed to write and successfully run an entire decorator with no errors whatsoever. Thank you won't be enough! You have got a real talent in simplifying extremely complicated topics to non technical people such as myself and I'm extremely thankful that I got to witness this talent. God bless!

This was an excellent tutorial video on decorators. I have watched a lot of videos as well as read a countless number of articles/blogs on the topic... And, yet I haven't seen this kind of fluency... I absolutely love how your structure and organize your videos and then, deliver them with great control on the tempo... At no point, I felt lost or thought to myself, I couldn't understand the concepts being shown on the screen... I consider your channel to be the best Python based channel on KZfaq... While I do admire a lot of other channels, like Dan Bader's and the likes, but somehow your impeccable didactic skills make your channel a must for any Python developer, especially beginners... Please keep doing your excellent work... And, I read your interview (that you gave on RealPython.com) and I really appreciate that you have granted access to everyone... So, young learners (especially students who are not financially capable) who are unable to pay the premium to gain access to high-quality resources on Python.

I joined a team a few months ago as my first stint as a developer of any stripe. I'm working with a relatively mature codebase that needs a lot of love, in terms of docstrings, testing, and being able to run tests locally. I'd edited a few scripts to include logging and argument-parsing directives, but I knew there was a better way. I finally got around to looking at decorators and your video really helped me form an intuition. Thanks.
