Here's a completely useless decorator to drive home the point that
@deco
def f(...):
...
is only a fancy way to write
def f(...):
...
f = deco(f)
>>> def fortytwo(func):
... print("I don't care about your function")
... return 42
...
>>> @fortytwo
... def f():
... print("this is important")
...
I don't care about your function
>>> f()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable
>>> f
42
