Python: shortcut for writing decorators which accept arguments?

Question

Does the Python standard library have a shortcut for writing decorators which accept arguments?

For example, if I want to write a decorator like with_timeout(timeo

Answer 1

I know you said it feels suboptimal but I still feel that using three nested models is the cleanest solution. The inner two functions are just the 'normal' way of defining a decorator for a function that takes arguments (see example in python's docs for @wraps). The outer one is really just a function that takes and argument and returns a decorator.

def with_timeout(timeout):
    def decorator(f):
        @wraps(f)
        def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
            with Timeout(timeout):
                return f(*args, **kwargs)
        return wrapper
    return decorator
