Can't I define a decorator in a separate file and import it?

This imports the module Singleton, not the class or function.

There are two options to deal with this:

from Singleton import Singleton

imports the name Singleton from the module Singleton, which will be what
you are probably expecting. If you wish to keep the namespace, you can also
change your call from @Singleton to @Singleton.Singleton
