Python Tutorial: Decorators - Dynamically Alter The Functionality Of Your Functions
In this Python tutorial, we will be learning about decorators. Decorators are a way to dynamically alter the functionality of your functions. So for example, if you wanted to log information when a function is run, you could use a decorator to add this functionality without modifying the source code of your original function. So let's take a look at how these decorators work and a few ways in which we can use them. Let's get started.

The way you teach programming is really nice! Its very basic, it is paced very well, and it is very logical. In addition you use code snippets that are really concise. Many other videos are either too fast, or too slow, or often simply lack the logic. Often times one can see videos, or written programs but when the teacher doesn't tell why it should be done in a certain way, the inspiration is missing, and then it is very tempting to pick up bad habits that may look simpler, but are inefficient methods. Keep up your good work, and every now and then when I will look for efficiency, I will search for your name :) Now I wish you were a data scientist at Intel where I work.

So basically, a decorator is a function, it's created by taking a argument which will be a function by assigning a variable to an argument which is a function that when executes displays some kind of functionality, this variable is turn into a function by using closures since it assigned its self and returned it and made it a function with that, it took advantage of closures creating a decorator? I don't fully understand but I'll get there
Your hands down the best damn online-teacher i've seen yet...there was one other dude on Udemy , but you've surpassed him...Your videos makes programming twice as fun because you explain things so easily for ppl to understand...I can see how this would result in a person spending hours at the keyboard, generating new ways to implement their code with their newly-learned information ( at least that's what your videos have done for me!! lol)....thanks for your hard work, Corey.

I agree
I have no experience in programming whatsoever so my expectations for understanding the concept of decorators were pretty low. However, to my own surprise, after I finished the video, I managed to write and successfully run an entire decorator with no errors whatsoever. Thank you won't be enough! You have got a real talent in simplifying extremely complicated topics to non technical people such as myself and I'm extremely thankful that I got to witness this talent. God bless!
You could be the best instructor in the entire world... nice flow!
Corey, you never cease to amaze me! I had seen and read several videos and docs about decorators, but I always ended with doubts and more questions. But I think I finally understand very well all I need to know about decorators. Thanks for your videos!!!
This is the best explanation of decorators that's I've come across. Kudos!
The proper way to never forget how decorators work is just keeping in mind what that '@' syntax means: @decorator def function(): ... is equivalent to: function = decorator(function).

All of your good videos makes me still able to work in my current dying job with my dream that getting my new job in my bright future. Thank you, Corey!
What an amazing teacher. Making the complex; simple. Thank you good sir.
Corey, amazing tutorials. every time I see you have a tutorial regarding the topic I'm looking for I already know I'll understand it. You should do this full-time. I'll donate :)
Your clarity on how to start simple then expand into more complex examples in a logical way is amazing.
your python tutorials are works of art; really concise and educational; thanks
This is the first contact for me with decorators and surprisingly i have got it completely, that's rarely happen to me specially with such complicated concept, usually I need a week at least and tons of resources to make sense out of it. Your videos invaluable treasure, We couldn't thank you enough no matter how many times we say thank you. You are literally my hero.

Corey, you are a true mentor and master of programming. I was just trying to remember what its definition said but couldn't understand how it works for those complex explanations. You make it concise and clear, show it in a logical and straight forward way. I just want to say thank you that for all of your tutorial videos you saved so many self-taught programmers.
Each and every video I watch from you helps me feel a bit more like a programmer and pushes away the good old impostor syndrome... you are simply the best coding teacher on the internet and I am so grateful to have come across your channel while re-training to become a developer. Thank you so much.
Corey, You are a hero! Thank you so much for these videos, these are the best Python videos I have seen. Your teaching methodology is second to none. Thank You!!!
u r the best example for humanity.. that u r providing such kind of education.. that we cant get after paying somewhere..
You are too good at teaching. That's only possible when you have a clear idea of every minute thing happening and the order in which it happens. Hats off! and thanks for taking your time and teaching such complex content in such an easy way.
Hands down the best tutor! Your way of explaining even the most complex topics with easy to understand examples, as well as your explanations are amazing! I would like to thank you for taking your time to make all these amazing tutorials!
Corey, you are the best, I attended many online courses, some are paid but none of them was as good as you. you teach what id important and the way you explain basics,it is superb.thank you for sharing your knowledge free and guiding many of beginner python students like me.
1:25 The variable 'message' wasn't created inside the inner_function but inner_function does have access to message variable. This is called free variable. Spot on. Thanks for the awesome description.
This is an another example of the very common witty remark.Thing is not complicated as it looks from a first glance, we only need a proper man who can explain it clearly. You are the man ! Thank you very much!
I search your channel first if there is anything I don't understand in Python, and I am never disappointed. Thank you so much for sharing these videos. And keep them coming. Cheers!!
Thank you Corey! Your tutorials are surpassing even the ones offered by Pluralsight!
Nobody has ever really had this impact in my life honestly, you sir are my hero I dont even have enough words to describe how great you are. It's also fascinating and soo godly how someone you have not even met can have this amount of impact in your life. You have done for me what no one else has ever done to my life, I moved from being a complete novice to intermediate and I'm hoping to keep learning from your videos. You are the best💯💫👑

Best decorator tutorials with best practical examples. Not a long video considering how much info it covers. Well worth the time.
You have got to be one of the best teachers I have ever come across. You explain complicated concepts extremely well. Thank you for your time and effort
This content is a boon for newbies like me to learn better about decorators and wrappers. Thanks a lot Corey Schafer 🙏
I have watched several videos and read several websites to know about decorators but no one could explain me clearly the functionality of a decorator. Now it's crystal clear :)
No one Could ever make decorator understand to anyone this better. I find myself lucky to find you on KZread and I admit without any doubt, you are SAVIOUR to all those commenting down below..Thanks a ton
Crystal clear! I finally get decorators! Thank you very much!! :D

I like your way of teaching, you build up a concept right from its base explaining from its roots and by the end of the tutorial you show the possibilies one can implement using the functionality. The possibilities you show inspires one to try it in their code, you have opened doors for pythonistas across the globe to raise their standards. Thanks Corey
Best Python tutorial came across so far - great pace, materials, and such a nice unwrap of the mysteries around “wrapper”!
I have suggested your tutorial to all of my friends. you are helping many people keep doing , thanks a lot from india.
by far the best tutorials for python i've come across
It's impressive how after 5 years your videos are still helpful and relevant, even though it's from early version of python. Great content man, very didactical !
No matter how many tutorials I see, none of them can compare yours! Great job, sir!
This video is a true GEM! You should really consider making an Udemy course. I will share this with all of my Python enthusiast friends. Thank you Corey!
These python tutorials are the best on youtube.
This tutorial was the best; It expresses the depth of your comprehension and mastery on this issue!
I just walked through this video regarding decorators, additionally i knew what are Clousers and First Class functions....Really, ur teaching is awesome Sir. Thank you
You taught this better in 30 minutes than my university professor taught this in 2 hours.
I just had to say this. I’ve been doing some programming for about 15y now but this isn’t my ‘bread and butter’ so often I’d stuck on a topic (which in this case was the decorators in python) and believe me, I’ve read quite a lot blogs, articles, etc, and as many others I just ended-up here... I can finally say I do understand it and it all makes perfect sense. Thank you for your time and efforts doing this fantastic job! P.s. I really hope my appreciation somehow hopes you pay the bills too ... lol ;-) (I liked, subscribed, etc :-))

First off, Amazing Video; really well explained!! I spent the whole day trying to understand what decorators & closures were until I came across your videos. I don't think that this video was particularly long for it's nature of intuition and complexity. Thank you so much, Corey!! *Subbed for life* :D
Hey Corey, I am going through your videos which are awesome. This one in particular is mind blowing! I was able to understand the concept during the video and you saved me countless hours of coding and reading :). Keep it up!
watched this video 4 times. Don't regret it.
OMG !!!!...You made my day...Best video so far on Decorators...My search ends now :)
Finally, a python developer who uses names on functions and variables clearly. Unlike those that I watched prior to this, using f, f1; tire, tires; div, div1. Thanks Corey! This made following the execution flow easily and effortlessly.
You are really Killing. I am trying to understand Decorator more than 2 months. But after your tutorial. Every this is clear. Respect.
This videos was awesome! Really simple examples for complex tasks. The only thing that I couldn't grasp properly was the idea the wrap decorator inside the functools module. Maybe a video about this specific decorator should clarify this tool a little more. Thank You!!!
My head hurts, I hope I'm not the only one who had to watch this 3 times....lol. BTW wonderful tutorial thanks

Thanks Corey for this indeed amazing tutorial. You are pretty good at giving us strong basic fundamentals on Python!! Such a crisp explanation of decorators
This was an excellent tutorial video on decorators. I have watched a lot of videos as well as read a countless number of articles/blogs on the topic... And, yet I haven't seen this kind of fluency... I absolutely love how your structure and organize your videos and then, deliver them with great control on the tempo... At no point, I felt lost or thought to myself, I couldn't understand the concepts being shown on the screen... I consider your channel to be the best Python based channel on KZread... While I do admire a lot of other channels, like Dan Bader's and the likes, but somehow your impeccable didactic skills make your channel a must for any Python developer, especially beginners... Please keep doing your excellent work... And, I read your interview (that you gave on RealPython.com) and I really appreciate that you have granted access to everyone... So, young learners (especially students who are not financially capable) who are unable to pay the premium to gain access to high-quality resources on Python.
These tutorials are amazing!!!
when he explained *args and **kwargs, tears fell down my eyes
You are true teacher Corey. Your videos are very precise to the topic, with a lot of logic and a perfect explanation. Thank you for your contribution. We respect you!!
I am in Pluralsight right now as its free for the whole month of April due to Covid, as I am doing the courses of Bingham and Smallshire, I just had to run to your video as I knew I will be more enlightened. Well worth my time. You are very good teacher and thanks a lot!
For me this was very confusing to learn but after watching this video 30 times i finally understand it. I would have for sure been left behind in school.
Dude, I seriously hope someone, somewhere, is paying you a lot of money for your knowledge xD
Hi Corey - This was awesome and very helpful. Please do more of these. As you know, I'm new to Python programming (programming period really) so I am always looking for practical ways to use what I learn and your videos are the only ones I use. Thanks.
You’re an excellent teacher. Best tutorial on decorators I’ve seen so far.
This Guy is A Fucking Legend And a GOD At Teaching Programming . Absolute Madlad . All the respect . Hope I will Repay Him Someday !
Thank you corey, you are the best :)
Another great tutorial. The more I am exposed to Python, especially with the help from these videos, the more I like the language. It is so logical and elegant. I wish it was around in my youth when I started coding, it would have taken over the coding world by now. And I think it will,,,,
Very clear explanation. I already knew how to use a number of decorators but this is a great review for me to understand the decorators better. Thank you.
