definition of decorators in python code example

Example 1: decorators in python

'pass function which we want to decorate in decorator callable object'
def our_decorator(func):  # func is function to be decorated by decorator
  
  def wrapper(x):       # x is parameter which is passed in func
    if x%2==0:
      return func(x)
    else:
      raise Exception("number should be even")
  return wrapper

@ our_decorator
def func(x):         # actual function 
  print(x,"is even")
func(2)
func(1)

' if you do not want to use @'
func=our_decorator(func)
func(2)

Example 2: python decorator

# Decorator with arguments
import functools

# First function takes the wanted number of repetition
def repeat(num_times):
    # Second function takes the function
    def decorator_repeat(func):
        # Third function, the wrapper executes the function the number of times wanted        
        # functools decorator to print the true name of the function passed instead of "wrapper"
        @functools.wraps(func)
        def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
            for _ in range(num_times):
                result= func(*args, **kwargs)
            return result
        return wrapper
    return decorator_repeat

# Our function using the decorator
@repeat(num_times= 3)
def greet(name):
    print(f"Hello {name}")

greet("thomas")
