Here is a decorator to make a function self-aware, giving it a "this"
variable that points to itself, which you could then initialize from
outside with static flags or values:
from functools import wraps
def self_aware(fn):
@wraps(fn)
def fn_(*args):
return fn(*args)
fn_.__globals__["this"] = fn_
return fn_
@self_aware
def foo():
this.counter += 1
print this.counter
foo.counter = 0
foo()
foo()
foo()
Prints:
1
2
3
