Re: [pygame] @



If it doesn't execute on function call, I don't get what the use is? I
thought if I did this, it would print out "I am decorator"  ( but it
only does it on function declaration )

def dec(f):
    print "I am decorator!", f
    return f

@dec
def fn(x): return x

( And if it doesn't, then the logThisMethodCall() will not be logging
every time it is called, just once on declaration ?: )
