I don't think that this idea is original to you :-) I'm pretty sure many 
people have come up with the idea of a decorator that just announces when 
it runs and when it is called. I know I have  :-) 

People keep independently inventing this because it's an obvious, and 
easy to understand, example. Nicely done.

I tried to run your code, but every line is quoted with a > which causes 
a syntax error. Was there a reason you quoted the snippet?
