Decorators are applied when the function or class  is *defined*. Modules 
OTOH are imported from quite a few places. So what would

@foo
import bar

@baz
import bar

mean - what's the semantics of that? If *anything*, you could declare a 
decorator per module.


Anyway, for your original problem, you can always just iterate over the 
module objects & decorate them. Like this:


for name in dir(module):
     thing = getattr(module, name)
     if callable(thing):
        wrapped_thing = wrap(thing)
        setattr(module, name, wrappend_thing)
