And they are used in many popular Python frameworks including Django, Flask, and even Databricks. Learn what decorators are, how to use them, and how to write your own!

A must for me to check. I'm trying to grasp usage of functools in decorators.

Superb ! Thanks ! One question...Even if I comment out the @wraps, it is working the same..Can you please explain the wraps ?

Do you have a playlist for python for data engineering?

@lru_cache is the one I’m most familiar with. Does the decorator have to be on it’s own line or can I just search and replace def with @decorator def. Similar to how Java annotations can be on the same line as the thing they are annotating.
