Need some decorator help.
I have a class. And I want to add behavior to one of this class's
methods to be run before the class runs the actual method. Is this
what decorators are for?
So the class I want to work with is string.Template
Let's say I have this:
from string import Template

Or is this not what decorators do? I'm trying to avoid subclassing if I can.
Your problem, overriding a method, is what inheritance was made for.
