script to show how to pass arguments to a decorated function

arguments_to_decorated_function.py

# Passing arguments to the decorated function

# It's not magic, you just have to let the "wrapper" pass the argument

def a_decorator_passing_arguments(function_to_decorate):
    def a_wrapper_accepting_arguments(arg1, arg2):
	print 'I got args! Look: %s, %s' %(arg1, arg2)
	function_to_decorate(arg1, arg2)
    return a_wrapper_accepting_arguments

# Since you are calling the wrapper function which is returned by the decorator, passing arguments
# to the wrapper will let it pass those to the decorated function
