#parameter and return a function
def logging(f):
  def decorator_function(*args, **kwargs):
    print('executing '+f.__name__)
    return f(*args, **kwargs)
  return decorator_function
#Use it like this
@logging
def hello_world():
  print('Hello World')
#calling hello_world() prints out:
#executing hello_world
#Hello World

Example 2: examples of function decorators in Python

from functools import wraps

def logit(func):
    @wraps(func)
    def with_logging(*args, **kwargs):
        print(func.__name__ + " was called")
        return func(*args, **kwargs)
    return with_logging

@logit
def addition_func(x):
   """Do some math."""
   return x + x


result = addition_func(4)
# Output: addition_func was called
