Yes. But it's more common for the original function to have be
modified in some way. e.g.:
def autodoc(f):
f.__doc__ += document_args(f)
return f
@autodoc
def f(x, y):
"""Add two numbers"""
return x + y
And then f.__wrapped__ is not particularly useful because the original
function no longer exists and odd things will happen. For example, in
the code above autodoc(f.__wrapped__).__doc__ will not equal
f.__doc__.

I guess my description of the problem wasn't clear. I meant:
def _debug(*args, **kwargs)
print args, kwargs
def mock(f):
return _debug
@mock
def plus(a, b):
return a + b
@mock
def prod(a, b):
return a * b
