What I was referring to is the case:
@decorator(x,y,z)
As being a decorator expression with more than one argument.
But, we generally say this is a call to a function named decorator
that returns a decorator. If you called it:
@make_decorator(x,y)
def .....
We'd be sure we were all on the same page.
How about this as an example:
def tweakdoc(name):
def decorator(function):
function.__doc__ = 'Tweak(%s) %r' % (name, function.__doc__)
return function
return decorator
What is confusing us about what you write is that you are referring to
tweakdoc as a decorator, when it is a function returning a decorator.
and not:
@decorator(x)(y)
This is only prevented by syntax (probably a good idea, otherwise
we would see some very complicated expressions before function
declarations).
