Looks very nice, but I've three  questions:

1. What happens, if a function has more then one decorator? Wouldn't it 
be better to
just remove the debugging decorator instead of removing all decorators?

2. In the case of an assignment (but holds for the return statement too).
think about the following code:

a = 0
@debugging
def foo():
     a = a +  1

def bar():
     #assign something else to a

Imagine foo() and bar() being called in two different threads. Wouldn't 
it be better

to replace  a = a + 1 by

|global_debugging_lock_objekt.acquire()|
a = a + 1
print "assigned new value to a, %r", a
|global_debugging_lock_objekt.release()|

for some global lock object.

3. What happens in the case of  a += 1?

Johannes
