Question

[Disclaimer: there may be more pythonic ways of doing what I want to do, but I want to know how python\'s scoping works here]

Assuming that in python functions are objects, you can do...

#!/usr/bin/python3


class DecorClass(object):
    def __init__(self, arg1, arg2):
        self.a1 = arg1
        self.a2 = arg2

    def __call__(self, function):
        def wrapped(*args):
            print('inside class decorator >>')
            print('class members: {0}, {1}'.format(self.a1, self.a2))
            print('wrapped function: {}'.format(args))
            function(*args, self.a1, self.a2)
        return wrapped


    @DecorClass(1, 2)
    def my_function(f1, f2, *args):
        print('inside decorated function >>')
        print('decorated function arguments: {0}, {1}'.format(f1, f2))
        print('decorator class args: {}'.format(args))


    if __name__ == '__main__':
        my_function(3, 4)

and the result is:

inside class decorator >>
class members: 1, 2
wrapped function: (3, 4)
inside decorated function >>
decorated function arguments: 3, 4
decorator class args: (1, 2)
