## Introduction

The ``decorator`` module is over ten years old, but still alive and
kicking. It is used by several frameworks (IPython, scipy, authkit,
pylons, pycuda, sugar, ...) and has been stable for a *long* time. It
is your best option if you want to preserve the signature of decorated
functions in a consistent way across Python releases. Versions 5.X
supports Python versions greater than 3.4, versions 4.X supports Python
versions back to 2.6; versions 3.X are able to support even Python 2.5 and
2.4.

## What's New in version 5

Version 5 of the decorator module features a major simplification of
the code base made possible by dropping support for Python releases
older than 3.5. From that version the ``Signature`` object works well
enough that it is possible to fix the signature of a decorated
function without resorting to ``exec`` tricks. The simplification
has a very neat advantage: in case of exceptions raised in decorated
functions the traceback is nicer than it used to be. Moreover, it is
now possible to mimic the behavior of decorators defined with
``functool.wraps``: see the section about the ``kwsyntax`` flag below.

## What's New in version 4

- **New documentation**
  There is now a single manual for all Python versions, so I took the
  opportunity to overhaul the documentation.
  Even if you are a long-time user, you may want to revisit the docs, since
  several examples have been improved.

- **Packaging improvements**
  The code is now also available in wheel format. Integration with
  setuptools has improved and you can run the tests with the command
  ``python setup.py test`` too.

- **Code changes**
  A new utility function ``decorate(func, caller)`` has been added.
  It does the same job that was performed by the older
  ``decorator(caller, func)``. The old functionality is now deprecated
  and no longer documented, but still available for now.

- **Multiple dispatch**
  The decorator module now includes an implementation of generic
  functions (sometimes called "multiple dispatch functions").
  The API is designed to mimic ``functools.singledispatch`` (added
  in Python 3.4), but the implementation is much simpler.
  Moreover, all decorators involved preserve the signature of the
  decorated functions. For now, this exists mostly to demonstrate
  the power of the module. In the future it could be enhanced/optimized.
  In any case, it is very short and compact (less then 100 lines), so you
  can extract it for your own use. Take it as food for thought.

- **Python 3.5 coroutines**
  From version 4.1 it is possible to decorate coroutines, i.e. functions
  defined with the `async def` syntax, and to maintain the
  `inspect.iscoroutinefunction` check working for the decorated function.

- **Decorator factories**
  From version 4.2 there is facility to define factories of decorators in
  a simple way, a feature requested by the users since a long time.

## Usefulness of decorators

Python decorators are an interesting example of why syntactic sugar
matters. In principle, their introduction in Python 2.4 changed
nothing, since they did not provide any new functionality which was not
already present in the language. In practice, their introduction has
significantly changed the way we structure our programs.
I believe the change is for the best, and that decorators are a great
idea since:

* decorators help reducing boilerplate code;
* decorators help separation of concerns;
* decorators enhance readability and maintenability;
* decorators are explicit.

Still, as of now, writing custom decorators correctly requires
some experience and it is not as easy as it could be. For instance,
typical implementations of decorators involve nested functions, and
we all know that flat is better than nested.

The aim of the ``decorator`` module it to simplify the usage of
decorators for the average programmer, and to popularize decorators by
showing various non-trivial examples. Of course, as all techniques,
decorators can be abused (I have seen that) and you should not try to
solve every problem with a decorator, just because you can.

You may find the source code for all the examples
discussed here in the ``documentation.py`` file, which contains
the documentation you are reading in the form of doctests.

## Definitions

Technically speaking, any Python object which can be called with one argument
can be used as a decorator. However, this definition is somewhat too large
to be really useful. It is more convenient to split the generic class of
decorators in two subclasses:

1. **signature-preserving decorators**, callable objects which accept
    a function as input and return a function as output, *with the
    same signature*

2. **signature-changing** decorators, i.e. decorators
    which change the signature of their input function, or decorators
    that return non-callable objects

Signature-changing decorators have their use: for instance, the
builtin classes ``staticmethod`` and ``classmethod`` are in this
group. They take functions and return descriptor objects which
are neither functions, nor callables.

Still, signature-preserving decorators are more common, and easier
to reason about. In particular, they can be composed together,
whereas other decorators generally cannot.

Writing signature-preserving decorators from scratch is not that
obvious, especially if one wants to define proper decorators that
can accept functions with any signature. A simple example will clarify
the issue.

## Statement of the problem

A very common use case for decorators is the memoization of functions.
A ``memoize`` decorator works by caching
the result of the function call in a dictionary, so that the next time
the function is called with the same input parameters the result is retrieved
from the cache and not recomputed.

There are many implementations of ``memoize`` in
http://www.python.org/moin/PythonDecoratorLibrary,
but they do not preserve the signature. In recent versions of
Python you can find a sophisticated ``lru_cache`` decorator
in the standard library's ``functools``. Here I am just
interested in giving an example.

Consider the following simple implementation (note that it is
generally impossible to *correctly* memoize something
that depends on non-hashable arguments):

$$memoize_uw

Here I used the functools.update_wrapper_ utility, which was added
in Python 2.5 to simplify the writing of decorators.
(Previously, you needed to manually copy the function attributes
``__name__``, ``__doc__``, ``__module__``, and ``__dict__``
to the decorated function by hand).

This works insofar as the decorator accepts functions with generic signatures.
Unfortunately, it is *not* a signature-preserving decorator, since
``memoize_uw`` generally returns a function with a *different signature*
from the original.

Consider for instance the following case:

$$f1

Here, the original function takes a single argument named ``x``,
but the decorated function takes any number of arguments and
keyword arguments:

```python
>>> from inspect import getfullargspec
>>> print(getfullargspec(f1))
FullArgSpec(args=[], varargs='args', varkw='kw', defaults=None, kwonlyargs=[], kwonlydefaults=None, annotations={})

```

This means that introspection tools like ``getfullargspec`` will give
you false information about the signature of ``f1`` This is pretty bad:
``getfullargspec`` says that the function accepts the generic
signature ``*args, **kw``, but calling the function with more than one
argument raises an error:

```python
>>> f1(0, 1) # doctest: +IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL
Traceback (most recent call last):
   ...
TypeError: f1() takes exactly 1 positional argument (2 given)

```

Notice that ``pydoc`` will give the right signature, but only in Python
versions greater than 3.5.

## The solution

The solution is to provide a generic factory of generators, which
hides the complexity of making signature-preserving decorators
from the application programmer. The ``decorate`` function in
the ``decorator`` module is such a factory:

```python
>>> from decorator import decorate

```

``decorate`` takes two arguments:

1. a caller function describing the functionality of the decorator, and

2. a function to be decorated.

The caller function must have signature ``(f, *args, **kw)``, and it
must call the original function ``f`` with arguments ``args`` and ``kw``,
implementing the wanted capability (in this case, memoization):

$$_memoize

Now, you can define your decorator as follows:

$$memoize

The difference from the nested function approach of ``memoize_uw``
is that the decorator module forces you to lift the inner function
to the outer level. Moreover, you are forced to explicitly pass the
function you want to decorate; there are no closures.

Here is a test of usage:

```python
>>> @memoize
... def heavy_computation():
...     time.sleep(2)
...     return "done"

>>> print(heavy_computation()) # the first time it will take 2 seconds
done

>>> print(heavy_computation()) # the second time it will be instantaneous
done

```

The signature of ``heavy_computation`` is the one you would expect:

```python
>>> print(getfullargspec(heavy_computation))
FullArgSpec(args=[], varargs=None, varkw=None, defaults=None, kwonlyargs=[], kwonlydefaults=None, annotations={})

```

## A ``trace`` decorator

Here is an example of how to define a simple ``trace`` decorator,
which prints a message whenever the traced function is called:

$$_trace

$$trace

Here is an example of usage:

```python
>>> @trace
... def f1(x):
...     pass

```

It is immediate to verify that ``f1`` works...

```python
>>> f1(0)
calling f1 with args (0,), {}

```

...and it that it has the correct signature:

```python
>>> print(getfullargspec(f1))
FullArgSpec(args=['x'], varargs=None, varkw=None, defaults=None, kwonlyargs=[], kwonlydefaults=None, annotations={})

```

The decorator works with functions of any signature:

```python
>>> @trace
... def f(x, y=1, *args, **kw):
...     pass

>>> f(0, 3)
calling f with args (0, 3), {}

>>> print(getfullargspec(f))
FullArgSpec(args=['x', 'y'], varargs='args', varkw='kw', defaults=(1,), kwonlyargs=[], kwonlydefaults=None, annotations={})

```

## Function annotations

Python 3 introduced the concept of [function annotations](
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3107/): the ability
to annotate the signature of a function with additional information,
stored in a dictionary named ``__annotations__``. The ``decorator`` module
(starting from release 3.3) will understand and preserve these annotations.

Here is an example:

```python
>>> @trace
... def f(x: 'the first argument', y: 'default argument'=1, z=2,
...       *args: 'varargs', **kw: 'kwargs'):
...     pass

```

In order to introspect functions with annotations, one needs
``inspect.getfullargspec`` (introduced in Python 3, then
deprecated in Python 3.5, then undeprecated in Python 3.6):

```python
>>> from inspect import getfullargspec
>>> argspec = getfullargspec(f)
>>> argspec.args
['x', 'y', 'z']
>>> argspec.varargs
'args'
>>> argspec.varkw
'kw'
>>> argspec.defaults
(1, 2)
>>> argspec.kwonlyargs
[]
>>> argspec.kwonlydefaults

```

You can check that the ``__annotations__`` dictionary is preserved:

```python
>>> f.__annotations__ is f.__wrapped__.__annotations__
True

```

Here ``f.__wrapped__`` is the original undecorated function.
This attribute exists for consistency with the behavior of
``functools.update_wrapper``.

Another attribute copied from the original function is ``__qualname__``,
the qualified name. This attribute was introduced in Python 3.3.

## ``decorator.decorator``

It can become tedious to write a caller function (like the above
``_trace`` example) and then a trivial wrapper
(``def trace(f): return decorate(f, _trace)``) every time.
Not to worry!  The ``decorator`` module provides an easy shortcut
to convert the caller function into a signature-preserving decorator.

It is the ``decorator`` function:

```python
>>> from decorator import decorator

```
The ``decorator`` function can be used as a signature-changing
decorator, just like ``classmethod`` and ``staticmethod``.
But ``classmethod`` and ``staticmethod`` return generic
objects which are not callable. Instead, ``decorator`` returns
signature-preserving decorators (i.e. functions with a single argument).

For instance, you can write:

```python
>>> @decorator
... def trace(f, *args, **kw):
...     kwstr = ', '.join('%r: %r' % (k, kw[k]) for k in sorted(kw))
...     print("calling %s with args %s, {%s}" % (f.__name__, args, kwstr))
...     return f(*args, **kw)

```

And ``trace`` is now a decorator!

```python
>>> trace # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
<function trace at 0x...>

```

Here is an example of usage:

```python
>>> @trace
... def func(): pass

>>> func()
calling func with args (), {}

```

## Mimicking the behavior of functools.wrap

Often people are confused by the decorator module since, contrarily
to ``functools.wraps`` in the standard library, it tries very hard
to keep the semantics of the arguments: in particular, positional arguments
stay positional even if they are called with the keyword argument syntax.
An example will make the issue clear. Here is a simple caller

$$chatty

and here is a function to decorate:

$$printsum

In this example ``x`` and ``y`` are positional arguments (with
defaults). From the caller perspective, it does not matter if the user
calls them as named arguments, they will stay inside the ``args``
tuple and not inside the ``kwargs`` dictionary:

```python
>>> printsum(y=2, x=1)
(1, 2) []
3

```

This is quite different from the behavior of ``functools.wraps``; if you
define the decorator as follows

$$chattywrapper

you will see that calling ``printsum`` with named arguments will pass
such arguments to ``kwargs``, while ``args`` will be the empty tuple.
Since version 5 of the decorator module it is possible to mimic that
behavior by using the ``kwsyntax`` flag:

$$printsum2

Here is how it works:

```python
>>> printsum2(y=2, x=1)
() [('x', 1), ('y', 2)]
3

```

This is exactly what the ``chattywrapper`` decorator would print:
positional arguments are seen as keyword arguments, but only if the
client code calls them with the keyword syntax. Otherwise they stay
positional, i.e. they belongs to the ``args`` tuple and not to ``kwargs``:

```python
>>> printsum2(1, 2)
(1, 2) []
3

```

## Decorator factories

The `decorator` function can also be used to define factories of decorators,
i.e. functions returning decorators. In general you can just write something
like this:

```python
def decfactory(param1, param2, ...):
    def caller(f, *args, **kw):
        return somefunc(f, param1, param2, .., *args, **kw)
    return decorator(caller)
```

This is fully general but requires an additional level of nesting. For this
reason since version 4.2 there is a facility to build decorator factories by
using a single caller with default arguments:

```python
def caller(f, param1=default1, param2=default2, ..., *args, **kw):
    return somefunc(f, param1, param2, *args, **kw)
decfactory = decorator(caller)
```

Notice that this simplified approach *only works with default arguments*,
i.e. `param1`, `param2` etc must have known defaults. Thanks to this
restriction, there exists an unique default decorator, i.e. the member
of the family which uses the default values for all parameters. Such
decorator can be written as ``decfactory()`` with no parameters specified;
moreover, as a shortcut, it is also possible to elide the parenthesis,
a feature much requested by the users. For years I have been opposing
the request, since having explicit parenthesis to me is more clear
and less magic; however once this feature entered in decorators of
the Python standard library (I am referring to the [dataclass decorator](
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0557/)) I finally gave up.

The example below shows how it works in practice. The goal is to
convert a function relying on a blocking resource into a function
returning a "busy" message if the resource is not available.
This can be accomplished with a suitable family of decorators
parameterize by a string, the busy message:

$$blocking

Functions decorated with ``blocking`` will return a busy message if
the resource is unavailable, and the intended result if the resource is
available. For instance:

```python
>>> @blocking(msg="Please wait ...")
... def read_data():
...     time.sleep(3) # simulate a blocking resource
...     return "some data"

>>> print(read_data())  # data is not available yet
Please wait ...

>>> time.sleep(1)
>>> print(read_data())  # data is not available yet
Please wait ...

>>> time.sleep(1)
>>> print(read_data())  # data is not available yet
Please wait ...

>>> time.sleep(1.1)  # after 3.1 seconds, data is available
>>> print(read_data())
some data

```

Decorator factories are most useful to framework builders. Here is an example
that gives an idea of how you could manage permissions in a framework:

$$Action

where ``restricted`` is a decorator factory defined as follows

$$restricted

Notice that if you forget to use the keyword argument notation, i.e. if you
write ``restricted(User)`` instead of ``restricted(user_class=User)`` you
will get an error

```python
TypeError: You are decorating a non function: <class '__main__.User'>

```

Be careful!

## ``decorator(cls)``

The ``decorator`` facility can also produce a decorator starting
from a class with the signature of a caller. In such a case the
produced generator is able to convert functions into factories
to create instances of that class.

As an example, here is a decorator which can convert a
blocking function into an asynchronous function. When
the function is called, it is executed in a separate thread.

(This is similar to the approach used in the ``concurrent.futures`` package.
But I don't recommend that you implement futures this way; this is just an
example.)

$$Future

The decorated function returns a ``Future`` object. It has a ``.result()``
method which blocks until the underlying thread finishes and returns
the final result.

Here is the minimalistic usage:

```python
>>> @decorator(Future)
... def long_running(x):
...     time.sleep(.5)
...     return x

>>> fut1 = long_running(1)
>>> fut2 = long_running(2)
>>> fut1.result() + fut2.result()
3

```

## contextmanager

Python's standard library has the ``contextmanager`` decorator,
which converts a generator function into a ``GeneratorContextManager``
factory. For instance, if you write this...

```python
>>> from contextlib import contextmanager
>>> @contextmanager
... def before_after(before, after):
...     print(before)
...     yield
...     print(after)

```

...then ``before_after`` is a factory function that returns
``GeneratorContextManager`` objects, usable with the ``with`` statement:

```python
>>> with before_after('BEFORE', 'AFTER'):
...     print('hello')
BEFORE
hello
AFTER

```

Basically, it is as if the content of the ``with`` block was executed
in the place of the ``yield`` expression in the generator function.

In Python 3.2, ``GeneratorContextManager`` objects were enhanced with
a ``__call__`` method, so that they can be used as decorators, like so:

```python
>>> ba = before_after('BEFORE', 'AFTER')
>>>
>>> @ba
... def hello():
...     print('hello')
...
>>> hello()
BEFORE
hello
AFTER

```

The ``ba`` decorator basically inserts a ``with ba:`` block
inside the function.

However ``GeneratorContextManager`` objects do not preserve the signature of
the decorated functions. The decorated ``hello`` function above will
have the generic signature ``hello(*args, **kwargs)``, but fails if
called with more than zero arguments.

For these reasons, the `decorator` module, starting from release 3.4, offers a
``decorator.contextmanager`` decorator that solves both problems,
*and* works in all supported Python versions.  Its usage is identical,
and factories decorated with ``decorator.contextmanager`` will return
instances of ``ContextManager``, a subclass of the standard library's
``contextlib.GeneratorContextManager`` class. The subclass includes
an improved ``__call__`` method, which acts as a signature-preserving
decorator.

## The ``FunctionMaker`` class

The ``decorator`` module also provides a ``FunctionMaker`` class, which
is able to generate on-the-fly functions
with a given name and signature from a function template
passed as a string.

If you're just writing ordinary decorators, then you probably won't
need to use ``FunctionMaker``. But in some circumstances, it
can be handy. You will see an example shortly--in
the implementation of a cool decorator utility (``decorator_apply``).

``FunctionMaker`` provides the ``.create`` classmethod, which
accepts the *name*, *signature*, and *body* of the function
you want to generate, as well as the execution environment
where the function is generated by ``exec``.

Here's an example:

```python
>>> def f(*args, **kw): # a function with a generic signature
...     print(args, kw)

>>> f1 = FunctionMaker.create('f1(a, b)', 'f(a, b)', dict(f=f))
>>> f1(1,2)
(1, 2) {}

```

It is important to notice that the function body is interpolated
before being executed; **be careful** with the ``%`` sign!

``FunctionMaker.create`` also accepts keyword arguments.
The keyword arguments are attached to the generated function.
This is useful if you want to set some function attributes
(e.g., the docstring ``__doc__``).

For debugging/introspection purposes, it may be useful to see
the source code of the generated function. To do this, just
pass ``addsource=True``, and the generated function will get
a ``__source__`` attribute:

```python
>>> f1 = FunctionMaker.create(
...     'f1(a, b)', 'f(a, b)', dict(f=f), addsource=True)
>>> print(f1.__source__)
def f1(a, b):
    f(a, b)
<BLANKLINE>

```

The first argument to ``FunctionMaker.create`` can be a string (as above),
or a function. This is the most common usage, since you typically decorate
pre-existing functions.

If you're writing a framework, however, you may want to use
``FunctionMaker.create`` directly, rather than ``decorator``, because it gives
you direct access to the body of the generated function.

For instance, suppose you want to instrument the ``__init__`` methods of a
set of classes, by preserving their signature.
(This use case is not made up. This is done by SQAlchemy, and other frameworks,
too.)
Here is what happens:

- If first argument of ``FunctionMaker.create`` is a function,
  an instance of ``FunctionMaker`` is created with the attributes
  ``args``, ``varargs``, ``keywords``, and ``defaults``
  (these mirror the return values of the standard library's
  ``inspect.getfullargspec``).

- For each item in ``args`` (a list of strings of the names of all required
  arguments), an attribute ``arg0``, ``arg1``, ..., ``argN`` is also generated.

- Finally, there is a ``signature`` attribute, which is a string with the
  signature of the original function.

**NOTE:** You should not pass signature strings with default arguments
(e.g., something like ``'f1(a, b=None)'``). Just pass ``'f1(a, b)'``,
followed by a tuple of defaults:

```python
>>> f1 = FunctionMaker.create(
...     'f1(a, b)', 'f(a, b)', dict(f=f), addsource=True, defaults=(None,))
>>> print(getfullargspec(f1))
FullArgSpec(args=['a', 'b'], varargs=None, varkw=None, defaults=(None,), kwonlyargs=[], kwonlydefaults=None, annotations={})

```

## Getting the source code

Internally, ``FunctionMaker.create`` uses ``exec`` to generate the
decorated function. Therefore ``inspect.getsource`` will not work for
decorated functions. In IPython, this means that the usual ``??`` trick
will give you the (right on the spot) message ``Dynamically generated
function. No source code available``.
However, there is a workaround. The decorated function has the ``__wrapped__``
attribute, pointing to the original function. The simplest way to get the
source code is to call ``inspect.getsource`` on the undecorated function:

```python
>>> print(inspect.getsource(factorial.__wrapped__))
@tail_recursive
def factorial(n, acc=1):
    "The good old factorial"
    if n == 0:
        return acc
    return factorial(n-1, n*acc)
<BLANKLINE>

```

## Dealing with third-party decorators

Sometimes on the net you find some cool decorator that you would
like to include in your code. However, more often than not, the cool
decorator is not signature-preserving. What you need is an easy way to
upgrade third party decorators to signature-preserving decorators...
*without* having to rewrite them in terms of ``decorator``.

You can use a ``FunctionMaker`` to implement that functionality as follows:

$$decorator_apply

``decorator_apply`` sets the generated function's ``__wrapped__`` attribute
to the original function, so you can get the right source code.
If you are using a Python later than 3.2, you should also set the
``__qualname__`` attribute to preserve the qualified name of the original
function.

Notice that I am not providing this functionality in the ``decorator``
module directly, since I think it is best to rewrite the decorator instead
of adding another level of indirection. However, practicality
beats purity, so you can add ``decorator_apply`` to your toolbox and
use it if you need to.

To give a good example for ``decorator_apply``, I will show a pretty slick
decorator that converts a tail-recursive function into an iterative function.
I have shamelessly stolen the core concept from Kay Schluehr's recipe
in the Python Cookbook,
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/496691.

$$TailRecursive

Here the decorator is implemented as a class returning callable
objects.

$$tail_recursive

Here is how you apply the upgraded decorator to the good old factorial:

$$factorial

```python
>>> print(factorial(4))
24

```

This decorator is pretty impressive, and should give you some food for
thought! ;)

Notice that there is no recursion limit now; you can easily compute
``factorial(1001)`` (or larger) without filling the stack frame.

Notice also that the decorator will *not* work on functions which
are not tail recursive, such as the following:

$$fact

**Reminder:** A function is *tail recursive* if it does either of the
following:

- returns a value without making a recursive call; or,
- returns directly the result of a recursive call.

## Python 3.5 coroutines

I am personally not using Python 3.5 coroutines yet. However, some
users requested support for coroutines and since version 4.1 the
decorator module has it.  You should consider the support experimental
and kindly report issues if you find any.

Here I will give a single example of usage. Suppose you want to log the moment
a coroutine starts and the moment it stops for debugging purposes. You could
write code like the following:

```python
import time
import logging
from asyncio import run, sleep, wait
from decorator import decorator

@decorator
async def log_start_stop(coro, *args, **kwargs):
    logging.info('Starting %s%s', coro.__name__, args)
    t0 = time.time()
    await coro(*args, **kwargs)
    dt = time.time() - t0
    logging.info('Ending %s%s after %d seconds', coro.__name__, args, dt)

@log_start_stop
async def make_task(n):
    for i in range(n):
        await sleep(1)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
    tasks = [make_task(3), make_task(2), make_task(1)]
    run(wait(tasks))
```

and you will get an output like this:

```bash
INFO:root:Starting make_task(1,)
INFO:root:Starting make_task(3,)
INFO:root:Starting make_task(2,)
INFO:root:Ending make_task(1,) after 1 seconds
INFO:root:Ending make_task(2,) after 2 seconds
INFO:root:Ending make_task(3,) after 3 seconds
```

This may be handy if you have trouble understanding what it going on
with a particularly complex chain of coroutines. With a single line you
can decorate the troubling coroutine function, understand what happens, fix the
issue and then remove the decorator (or keep it if continuous monitoring
of the coroutines makes sense). Notice that
``inspect.iscoroutinefunction(make_task)``
will return the right answer (i.e. ``True``).

It is also possible to define decorators converting coroutine functions
into regular functions, such as the following:

```python
@decorator
def coro_to_func(coro, *args, **kw):
    "Convert a coroutine into a function"
     return run(coro(*args, **kw))
```

Notice the difference: the caller in ``log_start_stop`` was a coroutine
function and the associate decorator was converting coroutines in coroutines;
the caller in ``coro_to_func`` is a regular function and converts
coroutines -> functions.

## Multiple dispatch

There has been talk of implementing multiple dispatch functions
(i.e. "generic functions") in Python for over ten years. Last year,
something concrete was done for the first time. As of Python 3.4,
we have the decorator ``functools.singledispatch`` to implement generic
functions!

As its name implies, it is limited to *single dispatch*; in other words,
it is able to dispatch on the first argument of the function only.

The ``decorator`` module provides the decorator factory ``dispatch_on``,
which can be used to implement generic functions dispatching on *any* argument.
Moreover, it can manage dispatching on more than one argument.
(And, of course, it is signature-preserving.)

Here is a concrete example (from a real-life use case) where it is desiderable
to dispatch on the second argument.

Suppose you have an ``XMLWriter`` class, which is instantiated
with some configuration parameters, and has the ``.write`` method which
serializes objects to XML:

$$XMLWriter

Here, you want to dispatch on the *second* argument; the first is already
taken by ``self``. The ``dispatch_on`` decorator factory allows you to specify
the dispatch argument simply by passing its name as a string. (Note
that if you misspell the name you will get an error.)

The decorated function `write` is turned into a generic function (
`write` is a function at the idea it is decorated; it will be turned
into a method later, at class instantiation time),
and it is called if there are no more specialized implementations.

Usually, default functions should raise a ``NotImplementedError``, thus
forcing people to register some implementation.
You can perform the registration with a decorator:

$$writefloat

Now ``XMLWriter`` can serialize floats:

```python
>>> writer = XMLWriter()
>>> writer.write(2.3)
'<float>2.3</float>'

```

I could give a down-to-earth example of situations in which it is desiderable
to dispatch on more than one argument--for instance, I once implemented
a database-access library where the first dispatching argument was the
the database driver, and the second was the database record--but here
I will follow tradition, and show the time-honored Rock-Paper-Scissors example:

$$Rock
$$Paper
$$Scissors

I have added an ordinal to the Rock-Paper-Scissors classes to simplify
the implementation. The idea is to define a generic function (``win(a,
b)``) of two arguments corresponding to the *moves* of the first and
second players. The *moves* are instances of the classes
Rock, Paper, and Scissors:

- Paper wins over Rock
- Scissors wins over Paper
- Rock wins over Scissors

The function will return +1 for a win, -1 for a loss, and 0 for parity.
There are 9 combinations, but combinations with the same ordinal
(i.e. the same class) return 0. Moreover, by exchanging the order of the
arguments, the sign of the result changes. Therefore, it is sufficient to
directly specify only 3 implementations:

$$win
$$winRockPaper
$$winPaperScissors
$$winRockScissors

Here is the result:

```python
>>> win(Paper(), Rock())
1
>>> win(Scissors(), Paper())
1
>>> win(Rock(), Scissors())
1
>>> win(Paper(), Paper())
0
>>> win(Rock(), Rock())
0
>>> win(Scissors(), Scissors())
0
>>> win(Rock(), Paper())
-1
>>> win(Paper(), Scissors())
-1
>>> win(Scissors(), Rock())
-1

```

The point of generic functions is that they play well with subclassing.
For instance, suppose we define a ``StrongRock``, which does not lose against
Paper:

$$StrongRock
$$winStrongRockPaper

Then you do not need to define other implementations; they are
inherited from the parent:

```python
>>> win(StrongRock(), Scissors())
1

```

You can introspect the precedence used by the dispatch algorithm by
calling ``.dispatch_info(*types)``:

```python
>>> win.dispatch_info(StrongRock, Scissors)
[('StrongRock', 'Scissors'), ('Rock', 'Scissors')]

```

Since there is no direct implementation for (``StrongRock``, ``Scissors``),
the dispatcher will look at the implementation for (``Rock``, ``Scissors``)
which is available. Internally, the algorithm is doing a cross
product of the class precedence lists (or *Method Resolution Orders*,
[MRO](http://www.python.org/2.3/mro.html) for short) of ``StrongRock``
 and ``Scissors``, respectively.

## Generic functions and virtual ancestors

In Python, generic functions are complicated by the existence of
"virtual ancestors": superclasses which are not in the class hierarchy.

Consider this class:

$$WithLength

This class defines a ``__len__`` method, and is therefore
considered to be a subclass of the abstract base class
``collections.abc.Sized`` (``collections.Sized`` on Python 2):

```python
>>> issubclass(WithLength, collections.abc.Sized)
True

```

However, ``collections.abc.Sized`` is not in the MRO_ of ``WithLength``; it
is not a true ancestor. Any implementation of generic functions (even
with single dispatch) must go through some contorsion to take into
account the virtual ancestors.

In particular, if we define a generic function...

$$get_length

...implemented on all classes with a length...

$$get_length_sized

...then ``get_length`` must be defined on ``WithLength`` instances...

```python
>>> get_length(WithLength())
0

```

...even if ``collections.abc.Sized`` is not a true ancestor of ``WithLength``.

Of course, this is a contrived example--you could just use the
builtin ``len``--but you should get the idea.

Since in Python it is possible to consider any instance of ``ABCMeta``
as a virtual ancestor of any other class (it is enough to register it
as ``ancestor.register(cls)``), any implementation of generic functions
must be aware of the registration mechanism.

For example, suppose you are using a third-party set-like class, like
the following:

$$SomeSet

Here, the author of ``SomeSet`` made a mistake by inheriting from
``collections.abc.Sized`` (instead of ``collections.abc.Set``).

This is not a problem. You can register *a posteriori*
``collections.abc.Set`` as a virtual ancestor of ``SomeSet``:

```python
>>> _ = collections.abc.Set.register(SomeSet)
>>> issubclass(SomeSet, collections.abc.Set)
True

```

Now, let's define an implementation of ``get_length`` specific to set:

$$get_length_set

The current implementation (and ``functools.singledispatch`` too)
is able to discern that a ``Set`` is a ``Sized`` object, by looking at
the class registry, so it uses the more specific implementation for ``Set``:

```python
>>> get_length(SomeSet())  # NB: the implementation for Sized would give 0
1

```

Sometimes it is not clear how to dispatch. For instance, consider a
class ``C`` registered both as ``collections.abc.Iterable`` and
``collections.abc.Sized``, and defines a generic function ``g`` with
implementations for both ``collections.abc.Iterable`` *and*
``collections.abc.Sized``:

$$singledispatch_example1

It is impossible to decide which implementation to use, since the ancestors
are independent. The following function will raise a ``RuntimeError``
when called. This is consistent with the "refuse the temptation to guess"
philosophy. ``functools.singledispatch`` would raise a similar error.

It would be easy to rely on the order of registration to decide the
precedence order. This is reasonable, but also fragile:

- if, during some refactoring, you change the registration order by mistake,
  a different implementation could be taken;
- if implementations of the generic functions are distributed across modules,
  and you change the import order, a different implementation could be taken.

So the ``decorator`` module prefers to raise an error in the face of ambiguity.
This is the same approach taken by the standard library.

However, it should be noted that the *dispatch algorithm* used by the decorator
module is different from the one used by the standard library, so in certain
cases you will get different answers. The difference is that
``functools.singledispatch`` tries to insert the virtual ancestors *before* the
base classes, whereas ``decorator.dispatch_on`` tries to insert them *after*
the base classes.

Here's an example that shows the difference:

$$singledispatch_example2

If you play with this example and replace the ``singledispatch`` definition
with ``functools.singledispatch``, the assertion will break: ``g`` will return
``"container"`` instead of ``"s"``, because ``functools.singledispatch``
will insert the ``Container`` class right before ``S``.

Notice that here I am not making any bold claim such as "the standard
library algorithm is wrong and my algorithm is right" or vice versa. It
just point out that there are some subtle differences. The only way to
understand what is really happening here is to scratch your head by
looking at the implementations. I will just notice that
``.dispatch_info`` is quite essential to see the class precedence
list used by algorithm:

```python
>>> g, V = singledispatch_example2()
>>> g.dispatch_info(V)
[('V',), ('Sized',), ('S',), ('Container',)]

```

The current implementation does not implement any kind of cooperation
between implementations. In other words, nothing is akin either to
call-next-method in Lisp, or to ``super`` in Python.

Finally, let me notice that the decorator module implementation does
not use any cache, whereas the ``singledispatch`` implementation does.

## Caveats and limitations

In the present implementation, decorators generated by ``decorator``
can only be used on user-defined Python functions, methods or coroutines.
I have no interest in decorating generic callable objects. If you want to
decorate things like classmethods/staticmethods and general callables -
which I will never support in the decorator module - I suggest you
to look at the [wrapt](https://wrapt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
project by Graeme Dumpleton.

Since version 5 the ``decorator`` module uses the ``inspect.Signature``
object in the standard library. Unfortunately, for legacy reasons, some
applications introspect decorated functions by using low-level entities like
the ``__code__`` object and not signature objects. An example will make
the issue clear:

```python
>>> def f(a, b): pass
>>> f_dec = decorator(_trace)(f)
>>> f_dec.__code__.co_argcount
0
>>> f_dec.__code__.co_varnames
('args', 'kw')

```
This is not what one would expect: the `argcount` should be 2 since
the original functions has two arguments and the `varnames` should be
`a` and `b`. The only way to fix the issue is to go back to an implementation
of the decorator using ``exec``, which is provided for convenience since
version 5.1:

```python
>>> from decorator import decoratorx
>>> f_dec = decoratorx(_trace)(f)
>>> f_dec.__code__.co_argcount
2
>>> f_dec.__code__.co_varnames
('a', 'b')

```
Rather than using `decoratorx`, you should fix your introspection
routines to use ``inspect.Signature`` without fiddling with the
``__code__`` object.

There is a strange quirk when decorating functions with keyword
arguments, if one of the arguments has the same name used in the
caller function for the first argument. The quirk was reported by
David Goldstein.

Here is an example where it is manifest:

```python
>>> @memoize
... def getkeys(**kw):
...     return kw.keys()

>>> getkeys(func='a') # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
Traceback (most recent call last):
 ...
TypeError: _memoize() got multiple values for ... 'func'

```

The error message looks really strange... until you realize that
the caller function `_memoize` uses `func` as first argument,
so there is a confusion between the positional argument and the
keyword arguments.

The solution is to change the name of the first argument in `_memoize`,
or to change the implementation like so:

```python

def _memoize(*all_args, **kw):
    func = all_args[0]
    args = all_args[1:]
    if kw:  # frozenset is used to ensure hashability
        key = args, frozenset(kw.items())
    else:
        key = args
    cache = func.cache  # attribute added by memoize
    if key not in cache:
        cache[key] = func(*args, **kw)
    return cache[key]
```

This avoids the need to name the first argument, so the problem
simply disappears. This is a technique that you should keep in mind
when writing decorators for functions with keyword arguments. Also,
notice that lately I have come to believe that decorating functions with
keyword arguments is not such a good idea, and you may want not to do
that.

The implementation is such that the decorated function makes
a (shallow) copy of the original function dictionary:

```python
>>> def f(): pass # the original function
>>> f.attr1 = "something" # setting an attribute
>>> f.attr2 = "something else" # setting another attribute

>>> traced_f = trace(f) # the decorated function

>>> traced_f.attr1
'something'
>>> traced_f.attr2 = "something different" # setting attr
>>> f.attr2 # the original attribute did not change
'something else'

```

Finally, you should be aware of the performance penalty of decorators.
The worse case is shown by the following example:

```bash
 $ cat performance.sh
 python3 -m timeit -s "
 from decorator import decorator

 @decorator
 def do_nothing(func, *args, **kw):
     return func(*args, **kw)

 @do_nothing
 def f():
     pass
 " "f()"

 python3 -m timeit -s "
 def f():
     pass
 " "f()"

```
On my laptop, using the ``do_nothing`` decorator instead of the
plain function is five times slower:

```bash
 $ bash performance.sh
 1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.39 usec per loop
 1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.278 usec per loop
```

Of course, a real life function probably does something more useful
than the function ``f`` here, so the real life performance penalty
*could* be negligible.  As always, the only way to know if there is a
penalty in your specific use case is to measure it.
