Named keywords in decorators?
- by wheaties
I've been playing around in depth with attempting to write my own version of a memoizing decorator before I go looking at other people's code. It's more of an exercise in fun, honestly. However, in the course of playing around I've found I can't do something I want with decorators.
def addValue( func, val ):
def add( x ):
return func( x ) + val
return add
@addValue( val=4 )
def computeSomething( x ):
#function gets defined
If I want to do that I have to do this:
def addTwo( func ):
return addValue( func, 2 )
@addTwo
def computeSomething( x ):
#function gets defined
Why can't I use keyword arguments with decorators in this manner? What am I doing wrong and can you show me how I should be doing it?
