Can you have the decorator outside the class, calling a regular method to do its main work? def recon_if_needed(f): def inner(self, *a, **kw): if self.disconnected: self.connect() return f(self, *a, **kw) return inner class SocketWorker: @recon_if_needed def send_packet(self, packet): assert not self.disconnected ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
