There is no practical use for decorators IMHO
They are syntactic sugar added to the language to make some things
that were already possible a little tidier looking (things like class/static
methods etc)
I don;t think there is anything that you need decorators to achieve that
you can'tdo without them. In that respect they are like python's support
for lambdas - nice to have but not essential to the language.
Others may feel differently! :-)
