# Python decorator module
# by Michele Simionato
# http://www.phyast.pitt.edu/~micheles/python/

## The basic trick is to generate the source code for the decorated function
## with the right signature and to evaluate it.
## Uncomment the statement 'print >> sys.stderr, func_src'  in _decorate
## to understand what is going on.
