What are some examples of class decorators in Python?

Class decorators in Python are functions that modify or enhance classes. One common example is the @dataclass decorator from the dataclasses module, which automatically generates special methods like __init__() and __repr__() for classes.

Can you give me another example?

Sure! Another example is the @classmethod decorator, which allows a method to be called on the class itself rather than on instances of the class. This is useful for factory methods.

What about using decorators for access control?

Yes, you can create a class decorator for access control. For instance, you could define a decorator that checks user permissions before allowing access to certain methods in a class.

How do I implement a custom class decorator?

To implement a custom class decorator, define a function that takes a class as an argument, modifies it as needed, and returns the modified class. You can then apply it using the @decorator_name syntax.
