Hi,
I've been trying to wrap my head around decorators and in my trails found a
very recent article on Linux Mag's website. I didn't see a post here regarding
this article and feel it is worth directing interested parties towards:
Introduction to Python Decorators
Have a web app that occasionally hangs? Use signals to
add a timeout to function requests with Python decorators.

The link req. registration (sorry, I can't do anything about that).
In a brief summary: The author has a Linux-hosted Web service that occasionally
hangs. He uses signals via decorators to overcome the problem in an elegant
way. While some of the content may not be applicable to all readers needs for
decorators, his illustration and description of the subject is very good (IMO,
FWIW).
I hope this helps others as much as it has for me,
Scott
