Decorators in Python. Why doesn't work with two arguments?

Now I am learning decorators in Python and trying to do some practice. With no arguments, just if I want to print sentence, It is alright, decorator works. But if want to try with math, do some addition like example, I've got error message: TypeError: wrap() takes 0 positional arguments but 2 were given. Here is my code on playground https://code.sololearn.com/cd0AA7IGPxBs/#py Can somebody help me, where I did mistake or maybe it is impossible to do at all?

You have to pass parameters to inner wrap in decorator function and as well as to function you want to decorate , something like this def apdaila(fn): def wrap(z,t): print("^^^^^^^^^^") fn(z,t) print("**********") return wrap def matem(): print('x + y') matem() @apdaila def sudeti(z,t): print(z + t) sudeti(8,9) But then you can't decorate a different function(talking about matem,because then you will have to provide it arguments as well) without arguments ,

If you use return wrap() you don't need to assign the decor(print_text) to variable and then call it ,it can be called just by printing decor(print_text)

@Petr as I know and as sample given on this lesson, exactly return wrap should be correct: def decor(func): def wrap(): print("============") func() print("============") return wrap def print_text(): print("Hello world!") decorated = decor(print_text) decorated()
