Question

What deeper point about Decorators should a senior Python developer mention?

  1. A senior answer mentions functools.wraps, call-path clarity, and the abstraction cost of adding another indirection layer.
  2. At senior level, the right answer is that Decorators exists mostly for historical syntax reasons.
  3. At senior level, Python removes the tradeoffs around Decorators, so design choices barely matter in practice.
  4. At senior level, any approach to Decorators is equally correct if it passes one small local test.

Hint

Look beyond syntax and explain the runtime, API, or design consequence.

Answer and rationale

Correct answer: A. A senior answer mentions functools.wraps, call-path clarity, and the abstraction cost of adding another indirection layer.

A senior answer mentions functools.wraps, call-path clarity, and the abstraction cost of adding another indirection layer. This is the kind of tradeoff-aware answer senior interviews usually expect.
