Rahul top-posted: > If you do C = wrap(C) C no longer remains a class..it becomes a > function. And if you do func = wrap(func) which is the equivalent of @wrap def func(...): ... then func no longer has the same signature. But as Reinhold suggests, does that really matter? In the case of the class, you can still call it to create class instances. In the case of the function, you can still call it to retrieve return values. Why do you care about the type of the object? In the case that it does matter, e.g. you want to be able to invoke your methods from the class instead of the instance, you can wrap the specific function that you need wrapped, e.g. class C(object): @wrap def __new__(cls, *args): super(C, cls).__new__(cls, *args) ...
