No it is not. The replacement happens here:
def generated_decorator(func) :
return \
decorator(func, *args, **kwargs)
#end generated_decorator
As you can see, the function being called, “decorator”, is supplied by the
caller. The function being decorated, “func”, is supplied by the caller (along
with the additional *args and **kwargs). And the returned function is returned
*as-is*, so whatever docstring was assigned by the caller is *NOT* “clobbered”.
Once again, the only docstrings I am setting are the ones for functions that
*I* generate.
Do you understand that yet?
