The principle of decorators themselves is as old as Python itself. You could
implement them as far back as Python 1.5, if not older:
[steve@ando ~]$ python1.5
Python 1.5.2 (#1, Aug 27 2012, 09:09
Mayank,
Thanks. I have only been using Python for about four years, so there are
features I have only recently discovered. Decorators are one of them. So
far, I encounter other Python users who are also unfamiliar with them.
When I discovered them, I instantly saw how they could be valuable.

Um...they were introduced in 2.4 which was released in late 2004. So
they've only been around for about (almost exactly) a decade. Not
sure that qualifies as "new in Python"
Decorators were there in Python 2.4, released in 2005. Not exactly new.

Well, I don't.
All it means is that I've never seen a use of decorators that has
enhanced the code. Once I "see the light," I'll have no problem changing
my view.
