Hi,

I follow a tutorial to learn decorator:

http://simeonfranklin.com/blog/2012/jul/1/python-decorators-in-12-steps/

I use Enthought Canopy to run the following code.
It is really strange that the wrapper does not take effect. 
In fact, I go back to the basic way (not with @):

wrapper(sub(two, one))
Out[38]: <function checker>


When I use the non-wrapper mode, it has Coord print out.
If I use wrapper, it has nothing to print out.
Due to no debug mode help, I don't see anything wrong yet.


(add(two, one))
                                          # nothing print out
(sub(two, three))
Out[43]: Coord:-- {'y': 300, 'x': 400}    # correct is here


Anyone can help?
Thanks,
