Yes, I thought your use of decorators in hypertoons24.py was pretty cool and wrote it up as such.[1] I've seen similar techniques in one of the new Python frameworks I was reading about, but don't recall the name. But studying your code was my entry point -- gave me new insights about the power of functional programming (I think of decorators as a nudge in that direction, given their job is to feed functions to other functions).
