decorators tutorials

hi bruno,

That seems to be hard to read at all, or I am just very new to python?

With that decorator how do I take advantage of it compare when I just
write a function that could do the same as what the decorator did? I
could translate the could from above into ...

def check_login(msg):
   #...
def my_func(toto, tata):
   #...

#call it like this
check_login('msg')
my_func('toto', 'tata')

Thanks
james
