I have created many functions that are divided into different files, now I would like to apply the same decorator for all of them without modifying the files and without applying the decorators one by one.
I have tried to use this explanation written by delnan, but I got no success for imported functions.
About the decorator, it must update a list every time a function within a class is executexecuted with the function arguments and values, just like this other question I asked.
Any suggestions to help me with this issue?
Thanks
A little bit of introspection (dir()
) and dynamic look-up with getattr()
and setattr()
.
First we iterate over all names found in module and check for objects that look like functions. After that we simply reassign old function with decorated one.
main.py:
import types
import functools
def decorate_all_in_module(module, decorator):
for name in dir(module):
obj = getattr(module, name)
if isinstance(obj, types.FunctionType):
setattr(module, name, decorator(obj))
def my_decorator(f):
@functools.wraps(f)
def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
print(f)
return f(*args, **kwargs)
return wrapper
import mymod1
decorate_all_in_module(mymod1, decorator)
mymod1.py:
def f(x):
print(x)
def g(x, y):
print(x + y)
Output:
<function f at 0x101e309d8>
2
<function g at 0x101e30a60>

Process does not goes that smooth if you use star imports (from mymod import *
). Reason is simple - because all names are in one huge bag and there no differentiation on where they come from, you need a lot of additional tricks to find what exactly you want to patch. But, well, that's why we use namespaces - because they are one honking great idea.
