why use python decorators 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: examples of function decorators in Python

from functools import wraps

def logit(logfile='out.log'):
    def logging_decorator(func):
        @wraps(func)
        def wrapped_function(*args, **kwargs):
            log_string = func.__name__ + " was called"
            print(log_string)
            # Open the logfile and append
            with open(logfile, 'a') as opened_file:
                # Now we log to the specified logfile
                opened_file.write(log_string + '\n')
            return func(*args, **kwargs)
        return wrapped_function
    return logging_decorator

@logit()
def myfunc1():
    pass

myfunc1()
# Output: myfunc1 was called
# A file called out.log now exists, with the above string

@logit(logfile='func2.log')
def myfunc2():
    pass

myfunc2()
# Output: myfunc2 was called
# A file called func2.log now exists, with the above string
