Lightning Talk: Python Decorators
summary
Decorators commonly break introspection lost — name and __doc__ are not preserved — and simple wrappers fail for methods, classmethods and staticmethods. The concrete fix is the wrapt library, which provides a wrapper decorator that handles functions methods classmethods staticmethods and supports robust monkey patching support. Author reports a 12‑post deep dive, ready‑made docs on Read the Docs, endorsement from core contributors, and real use where it preserves metadata and behavior reliably.
