I've been using Python since 1999 and version 1.5.2 and have yet to use decorators. I do occasionally find myself in a spot where I'm pretty sure that there's a more elegent way to do something using a decorator, and promise myself that I'll read up on decorators one of these days when I have some spare time... -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
