No.
@g
def f(): pass
is equivalent to and an abbreviation fo
def f(): pass
f = g(f)
The rationale for the abbreviation is
1. let the human reader know immediately that the function will get special
treatment
2. (related) put the notation about the function at the top with other
header stuff
3. avoid retyping really_long_function_names three times (and there are
uses of Python where long, multicomponent names are sensible and useful).
But nothing is gained and something is lost by writing clear code like
data = staticattribute('hello') # or privateattribute('hello')
in two lines.
