Hi, Thanks again for all the helping me understand the details of
decorators.
I put together a class to create decorators that could make them a lot
easier to use.
It still has a few glitches in it that needs to be addressed.
(1) The test for the 'function' object needs to not test for a string
but an object type instead.
(2) If the same decorator instance is stacked, it will get locked in a
loop. But stacking different instances created from the same
decorator object works fine.
(3) It has trouble if a decorator has more than one argument.
But I think all of these things can be fixed. Would this be something
that could go in the builtins library? (After any issues are fixed
first of course.)
When these are stacked, they process all the prepossess's first, call
the decorator, then process all the postprocess's. It just worked out
that way, which was a nice surprise and makes this work a bit
different than the standard decorators.
Cheers,
Ron
