Or rename the original function, write a function having this original name and calling from it the original functionality? Isn't the point of a decorator to change the behavior externally, at runtime, possibly changing it in different ways at different places at different times? So why this @deco notation? Can you apply it externally? Meaning to import module first, then @deco(module.func) somewhere later? Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
