Have you tried executing the code with and without the decorator? $ python2 without-decorator.py John Doe $ python2 with-decorator.py <p>John Doe</p> Basically, the decorator wraps the output of your get_fullname function with HTML <p> tags. (Running code examples is a great way to understand them.) -- Chris Warrick <https://chriswarrick.com/> PGP: 5EAAEA16 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
