At first, i am coming from another (language) programming world (C# mainly) and i hope you understand my wonders.
Ok then, you tell me that the interpreter always execute the code in a module...If there are only def declarations in the module and no code to invoke them it does not execute anything. It must have a body (a call to a(some) method(s)) so it can execute something, right ?? In Soni's example (Soni thanks for the code), it indeed prints "called foo" but if i remove the @foo statement, as i see right now in the debugger, it does not execute anything. I recap: if i put only functions declarations on a .py file, like these: def A(): print "a" def B(): print "b" def C(): print "c" and run the program, nothing happens, nothing executed. I have to put a statment like print A() or b() to cause code execution. But if i simple declare a decorator for one function, like the one that Soni gave me, then it caused the deco function to execute. Why is that ??
