Hi,

I am learning decorator following this link:

http://thecodeship.com/patterns/guide-to-python-function-decorators/

When I read decorator on class, I don't see decorator taking in effect.
In the following code snippet, there is the same print out if I comment out
two lines 'def p_decorate(func):' and '@p_decorate'.

Can you tell me what role of decorator in this code?


Thanks,

......
def p_decorate(func):
   def func_wrapper(self):
       return "<p>{0}</p>".format(func(self))
   return func_wrapper

class Person(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.name = "John"
        self.family = "Doe"

    @p_decorate
    def get_fullname(self):
        return self.name+" "+self.family

my_person = Person()
print my_person.get_fullname()
