Access self from decorator

Since you’re decorating a method, and self is a method argument, your decorator has access to self at runtime. Obviously not at parsetime, because there are no objects yet, just a class.

So you change your decorator to:

def decorator(func):
    def _decorator(self, *args, **kwargs):
        # access a from TestSample
        print 'self is %s' % self
        return func(self, *args, **kwargs)
    return _decorator
