Correctamundo. In fact, there's no need that the decorator return a
function (or callable) object at all. You could define a function to
compute a lookup table of some sort. The decorator might simply invoke the
function and return its value. Perfectly legal. Slightly more than
adornment. Somewhat silly example:
def define(func):
return func()
@ define
def grayscale():
table = []
for i in range(256):
table.append((i,i,i))
return table
