Python Decorators and inheritance

Question

Help a guy out. Can\'t seem to get a decorator to work with inheritance. Broke it down to the simplest little example in my scratch workspace. Still can\'t seem to get it

Answer 1

Define decor as a static method and use the form @bar.decor:

class bar(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.val = 4
    def setVal(self,x):
        self.val = x
    @staticmethod
    def decor(func):
        def increment(self, x):
            return func(self, x) + self.val
        return increment

class foo(bar):
    def __init__(self):
        bar.__init__(self)
    @bar.decor
    def add(self, x):
        return x
