Why do we require decorators in python at all?

#1

why can’t we just pass the function in the wrapper function itself with username, password, args and kwargs?

Hey @stutijain578

As the mentor said, it is done to reduce redundancy (Following the DRY principle). We don’t want to repeat the same code again and again.
Also, if you mean to say why don’t we just use the syntax my_decorator(my_function), it is because this construct is used in many places. Hence, the creators decided to give it a special syntax to increase code readability and the decorator syntax also looks better (Consider the case of multiple decorators dec_a(dec_b(dec_c(my_function))), so ugly).
