How can I pass a variable in a decorator to function’s argument in a decorated function?

by

You can’t pass it as its own name, but you can add it to the keywords.

def decorate(function):
    def wrap_function(*args, **kwargs):
        kwargs['str'] = 'Hello!'
        return function(*args, **kwargs)
    return wrap_function

@decorate
def print_message(*args, **kwargs):
    print(kwargs['str'])

Alternatively you can name its own argument:

def decorate(function):
    def wrap_function(*args, **kwargs):
        str="Hello!"
        return function(str, *args, **kwargs)
    return wrap_function

@decorate
def print_message(str, *args, **kwargs):
    print(str)

Class method:

def decorate(function):
    def wrap_function(*args, **kwargs):
        str="Hello!"
        args.insert(1, str)
        return function(*args, **kwargs)
    return wrap_function

class Printer:
    @decorate
    def print_message(self, str, *args, **kwargs):
        print(str)
