[Python-ideas] make __closure__ writable

[Yury Selivanov]

Decorators can be nested, and what you can do in this case is to
find the most inner-wrapped function by traversing the '__wrapped__'
attributes (and check that the function you found is the actual
original function).  After that you can play with its attributes,
but you can't simply substitute the function object, as the inner
decorator won't use it.  So sometimes you have to work with the
function object without a way of substituting it.
