Sample text

When changing from a simple attribute to a method, all references to that attribute also need to be changed. To avoid this, programmers in these languages have adopted a standard practice of always creating methods for attribute access so that any changes to the underlying implementation won’t affect any existing code. It’s never fun to touch that much of your code for a change to how one attribute is accessed, so Python provides a different approach to the problem. Rather than requiring the object to be responsible for special access to its attributes, the attributes themselves can provide this behavior.

If the decorator is applied without any arguments, parentheses are still required in order for it to work at all properly. ceraj% The second example fails because we didn’t first call `a_kn]pa. Thus, all subsequent calls to paop send their arguments to `a_kn]pkn instead of paop. Since this is a mismatch, Python throws an error. This situation can be a bit difficult to debug because the exact exception that will be raised will depend on the function being wrapped. 31 32 C HAPTER 2 ฀ D JA NG O IS P YTHON A Decorator With or Without Arguments One other option for decorators is to provide a single decorator that can function in both of the previous situations: with arguments and without.
