Dropped support for Python < 3.7 and added support for Python 3.11 and 3.12.
Sangwoo Shim contributed a fix so that cythonized functions can be decorated.
Brian McFee pointed out an issue in the decorator_apply example and
Wim Glenn pointed out that the "fix" in version 5.1 broke
decorator.contextmanager even more. Both issues are now solved.
Added a function decoratorx using the FunctionMaker and thus
preserving the signature of __code__ objects. Then fixed three small bugs:
- Sphinx was printing a few warnings when building the documentation, as signaled by Tomasz Kłoczko
- functions decorated with
decorator.contextmanagerwere one-shot, as discovered by Alex Pizarro. decorator.decoratorwas not passing the kwsyntax argument.
Fixed a test breaking PyPy. Restored support for Sphinx.
Made the decorator module more robust when decorating builtin functions
lacking dunder attributes, like dict.__setitem__.
The decorator module was not passing correctly the defaults inside the
*args tuple, thanks to Dan Shult for the fix. Also fixed some misspellings
in the documentation and integrated codespell in the CI, thanks to
Christian Clauss.
The decorator module was not copying the module attribute anymore. Thanks to Nikolay Markov for the notice.
Dropped support for Python < 3.5 with a substantial simplification of the code base (now building a decorator does not require calling "exec"). Added a way to mimic functools.wraps-generated decorators. Ported the Continuous Integration from Travis to GitHub.
Sylvan Mosberger (https://github.com/Infinisil) contributed a patch to
some doctests that were breaking on NixOS.
John Vandenberg (https://github.com/jayvdb) made a case for removing the usage
of __file__, that was breaking PyOxidizer.
Miro Hrončok (https://github.com/hroncok) contributed some fixes for the
future Python 3.9.
Hugo van Kemenade (https://github.com/hugovk) contributed some fixes for the
future Python 3.10.
Changed the description to "Decorators for Humans" are requested by several users. Fixed a .rst bug in the description as seen in PyPI.
Fixed a regression with decorator factories breaking the case with no
arguments by going back to the syntax used in version 4.2.
Accepted a small fix from Eric Larson (https://github.com/larsoner) affecting
isgeneratorfunction for old Python versions.
Moved the documentation from ReadTheDocs to GitHub to simplify the
release process and replaced ReStructuredText with Markdown: it is
an inferior solution, but it works better with GitHub and it is good enough.
Accepted a patch from Sylvain Marie (https://github.com/smarie): now the
decorator module can decorate generator functions by preserving their
being generator functions. Set python_requires='>=2.6, !=3.0.*, !=3.1.*'
in setup.py, as suggested by https://github.com/hugovk.
Added a section "For the impatient" to the README, addressing an issue raised by Amir Malekpour. Added support for Python 3.7. Now the path to the decorator module appears in the tracebacks, as suggested by an user at EuroPython 2018.
Extended the decorator family facility to work with positional
arguments and updated the documentation. Removed
decorator.getargspec and provided decorator.getfullargspec
instead. This is convenient for users of Python 2.6/2.7, the others
can just use inspect.getfullargspec.
Fixed a regression breaking IPython reported by https://github.com/spapini .
Added a facility to define families of decorators (aka decorators with arguments) as requested by several users. Accepted a pylint patch by David Allouche.
Made it possible to define decorators converting coroutines into regular functions, as requested by Itaï Ben Yaacov.
Changed the documentation build system to sphinx and uploaded the docs on readthedocs.org.
Support for Python 3.5 coroutines defined with async def, thanks to
Victor-Nicolae Savu who raised the issue of iscoroutinefunction not
giving the right answer for coroutines decorated with the decorator module.
Small improvements to the documentation and tested with Python 3.6
Improved the documentation thanks to Tony Goodchild (zearin) who also provided a much better CSS than the one I was using.
Same as 4.0.7 and 4.0.8, re-uploaded due to issues on PyPI.
Switched to a new changelog format (the one in http://keepachangelog.com/) since it was contributed by Alexander Artemenko. Re-added a newline to support old version of Python, as requested by azjps.
Removed a file x.py accidentally entered in the tarball.
Documented a quirk signaled by David Goldstein when writing decorators for functions with keyword arguments. Avoided copying the globals, as signaled by Benjamin Peterson.
Included a patch from Zev Benjamin: now decorated functions play well with cProfile.
Added a warning about the memoize example, as requested by Robert Buchholz.
docs/README.rst was not included in MANIFEST.in by accident, thus breaking the source installation.
Added docs directory and upload_docs command. Fixed bug with
__qualname__, reported by Lucian Petrut.
Removed the need for 2to3 by dropping the support for Python 2.5.
Added a MANIFEST.in file and produced a proper wheel. Improved
the integration with setuptools so that python setup.py test works.
Reworked the documentation and introduced decorator.decorated.
Removed any dependence from inspect.getargspec, which is deprecated
in Python 3.5, as signaled by Ralf Gommers.
Fixed contextmanager to work with Python 3.5.
Copied the __qualname__ attribute, as requested by Frazer McLean.
Added a dispatch_on facility to implement generic functions.
Same as 3.4.1, re-uploaded to PyPI.
Ported the repository from GoogleCode to GitHub and added Travis CI
support. Tests are executed with the new command python test.py -v.
setuptools is now mandatory in Python 3. The suggested
installation tool is now pip, not easy_install. Supported IronPython
and other Python implementations without sys._getframe, as requested by
Doug Blank.
Added the ability to use classes and generic callables as callers and implemented a signature-preserving contexmanager decorator. Fixed a bug with the signature f(**kw) in Python 3 and fixed a couple of doctests broken by Python 3.3, both issues pointed out by Dominic Sacré.
Fixed a bug with kwonlyargs for Python 3, submitted by Chris Ellison.
Fixed a bug with kwdefaults for Python 3, submitted by Chris Ellison.
Fixed a doctest broken for Python 3.2, as noted by
Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis; changed the name of
the attribute undecorated to __wrapped__, by following the
Python 3.2 convention, as requested by Ram Rachum; added
the Python 3 classifier to setup.py.
Added support for function annotations.
Now the .func_globals of the decorated function are the same of the undecorated function, as requested by Paul Ollis.
Added version (thanks to Gregg Lind), removed functionality which has been deprecated for years, removed the confusing decorator_factory example and added official support for Python 3 (requested by Claus Klein). Moved the documentation from PyPI to googlecode.
Added attributes args, varargs, keywords and arg0, ..., argN to FunctionMaker objects generated from a function; fixed another Pylons-breaking bug signaled by Lawrence Oluyede.
Fixed a bug which was breaking Pylons, signaled by Gabriel de Perthuis, and added a test for it.
Added decorator.factory, an easy way to define families of decorators (requested by various users, including David Laban). Refactored the FunctionMaker class and added an easier to use .create classmethod. Internally, functools.partial is used for Python >= 2.5.
Improved the error message in case a bound/unbound method is passed instead of a function and documented this case; that should make life easier for users like Gustavo Nerea.
New major version introducing FunctionMaker and the two-argument
syntax for decorator. Moreover, added support for getting the
source code. This version is Python 3.0 ready. Major overhaul of the
documentation, now hosted on http://packages.python.org/decorator.
Small optimization in the code for decorator factories. First version with the code uploaded to PyPI.
Set the zipsafe flag to False, since I want my users to have the source, not a zipped egg.
Added support for writing decorator factories with minimal effort (feature requested by Matthew Wilson); implemented it by enhancing 'decorator' to a Python 2.6 class decorator.
Added a note on 'inspect.getsource' not working for decorated functions; referenced PEP 326; highlighted the snippets in the documentation with pygments; slightly simplified the code.
Replaced the utility 'update_wrapper' with 'new_wrapper' and updated the documentation accordingly; fixed and improved the doctester argument parsing, signaled by Sam Wyse.
Included the licence in the source code too; fixed a versioning issue by adding the version number to the zip file and fixing the link to it on the web page, thanks to Philip Jenvey.
Rewritten and simplified the implementation; broken compatibility with previous versions (in minor ways); added the utility function 'update_wrapper' instead of 'newfunc'.
'decorator' instances now have attributes name, doc, module and dict coming from the associated caller function; included the licence into the documentation.
Added LICENSE.txt; added a setuptools-friendly setup.py script contributed by Luke Arno.
Minor fixes to the documentation.
Improved the documentation, added the 'caveats' section.
Improved the tail_recursive example.
Renamed 'copyfunc' into 'newfunc' and added the ability to copy the signature from a model function; improved '_decorator' to set the 'module' attribute too, with the intent of improving error messages; updated the documentation.
Changed decorator.call so that the module somewhat works even for Python 2.3 (but the signature-preserving feature is lost).
Minor changes to the documentation; improved getattr_ and
shortened locked.
Minor corrections to the documentation.
Fixed a bug with out-of-the-mind signatures, added a check for reserved names in the argument list and simplified the code (thanks to Duncan Booth).
Fixed a typo in the documentation (thanks to Anthon van der Neut).
Added getinfo, some tests and improved the documentation.
Simplified copyfunc, renamed deferred to delayed and added the nonblocking example.
Added copyfunc, improved the multithreading examples, improved the doctester program.
Added the license specification and two docstrings.
Initial release.
