Sequence Comprehension

• shortened for loop
• [[lambda](x) for x in <collection>] for y in <collection>]
• [ ... for (k,v) in dict]

Decorator

function as an argument of another function

Example

def log(text):
    def decorator(func):
        def wrapper(*args, **kw):
            print('%s %s():' % (text, func.__name__))
            return func(*args, **kw)
        return wrapper
    return decorator

@log('execute')
def now():
    print('2015-3-25')

• the \_name()__ _attribute will be changed after the decoration (to "wrapper")
  • use functools.wrap

import functools

def log(func):
    @functools.wraps(func)
    def wrapper(*args, **kw):
        print('call %s():' % func.__name__)
        return func(*args, **kw)
    return wrapper

def log(text):
    def decorator(func):
        @functools.wraps(func)
        def wrapper(*args, **kw):
            print('%s %s():' % (text, func.__name__))
            return func(*args, **kw)
        return wrapper
    return decorator
