What are decorator arguments in Python?

Can you explain what decorator arguments are in Python?

Sure! Decorator arguments allow you to pass parameters to decorators, enabling more flexible and reusable code.

How do I create a decorator that takes arguments?

You can create a decorator that takes arguments by defining a function that returns a decorator function. Here's a simple example.

Can you show me an example of such a decorator?

Absolutely! Here's a basic example:

def repeat(num_times):
    def decorator_repeat(func):
        def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
            for _ in range(num_times):
                func(*args, **kwargs)
        return wrapper
    return decorator_repeat

@repeat(3)
def greet(name):
    print(f'Hello, {name}!')

This will greet the name three times.

What are some common use cases for decorators with arguments?

Common use cases include logging, access control, and modifying input/output of functions.
