You are really good at teaching. Your videos are fun. The tongue in cheek humour("birds" & in background) is hysterical. The production quality is phenomenal. Impressive. Keep up the good work.

I’ve been working with Python for over ten years and I have never seen decorators explained so well or so succinctly as here. Really outstanding work. Outstanding.

[@WaldoTheWombat]

I agree, though she lost me at 8:02

[@olivierbegassat851]

This series just keeps on giving, always fun, to the point and beginner friendly. I love your work 🙂

[@kayakMike1000]

Decorators are pretty cool. I love to use em. You can even use decorators to sorta register a function with a class that defines a callable, it contains the __call__ magic method. This is how that Flask package works.

[@fvazquez64]

Love that Talking Heads "Once in a life time" reference... Thanks Socratica, you're something else...

[@JozuaSijsling]

I'm a seasoned programmer but never touch Python. I love this video. The underlying pattern of decorators is universal and this video does a great job explaining it.

This is amazing following your content for the last 3 years Now I'm a middle level backend developer

[@philippfrogel9355]

max level teaching, answers the right questions at the right time, and yet is entertaining on top, just wow!

[@ragtop63]

I've only ever had to use a Python decorator to explicitly tag a class method as a property getter or setter. So the "less common" implementation noted in this video is my most common implementation.

[@quintencabo]

I think she meant actually creating new method decorators

[@ow7398]

I've just found your channel and love it. It's been so helpful to learn python as a beginner, and your examples are very clear and your dry humour is very enjoyable. Can you please explain what *arg and **kwarg means (or point me to a video of yours that explains it)? I've clearly missed this step in my learning process. EDIT: you explained it later in the video. serves me right for commenting midway through. Thanks!!

[@goranjosic]

Python programming is FUN!! When I code something in javascript, I remember how much I LOVE Python - the readability of the code is INCOMPARABLY better. I sometimes struggle to read my javascript code from a few months ago, while with python I don't have that problem, no matter how big is the project. It's just a shame that Python is so slow, often for everything but hobby projects where speed is not important. Regardless, I will always love Python and he will always be a part of my hobby projects! ❤😄

[@borispsalman]

Some people suggest using Cython if speed is the concern, also i think Numpy is written in C such as other libraries that require fast computation. Python is generally used as a glue language where you maximize the advantages of python and only call functions written in faster languages.

[@hectorherrera4193]

Finally I understand decorators. Thanks for sharing!!

I am new to Python and enjoyed the video, but I'm not quite ready for this. Looking forward to watching it again when I have a better grasp of the basics. Excited to see there are new videos being created. Thank you for your hard work Socratica team!!

I am totally certain that, none of us will not find a channel on KZbin that let them get the python programming concepts in complete way except this channel, my advice for beginner writes down each code each word had been said in this channel. Really, I have been fall in love this channel..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

You are too kind, Socratica Friend!! We're so happy you've found us. 💜🦉

[@yash1152]

3:47 > _"time.time()"_ Do NOT use the time.time() for measuring time took in execution. time.time() returns current system time, which is not guaranteed to return precise time. *Update:* use timeit.timeit instead. it has number argument builtin to perform repetitions See a thu vu video Use time.perf_counter() or time.perf_counter_ns() instead. Refer the web page of "docs python library time". See the video "25 nooby Python habits you need to ditch" by mCoding at video id v as qUeud6DvOWI with time t starting 5m33s

[@LearningCalculus]

You are the best explainer.

[@skilz8098]

Pure Native Python is considered slow compared to many other languages that are compiled as opposed to being interpreted. Yet the versatility of the Python language to produce working code faster is quite valuable. When working with some code bases that run quite slow on large data sets with repetitive calculations, or in code sections that are considered critical sections or potential bottlenecks, I know that there exists a library module that can be imported to invoke the code to be precompiled kind of like other languages JIT compilers. I just don't remember the name of the import module. Just as important; demonstrating how to use vector intrinsics within Python I think the two of these would make for an excellent resource videos as they could be proven to generate even faster running code within various situations compared to many already existing commonly used library modules. Again, it's great to see that you're back with another excellent Python video and this is coming from someone who works more with C/C++ and a little bit of Assembly.

[@ApprendreSansNecessite]

4:02 yes, exactly, and now you have the exact same problem with your decorator. You show higher order functions, which is a totally valid approach, and then you go back to where you started. The problem you have with the fibonacci function here 9:24 is also quite funny because you end up creating a new function for testing, which is what you should have done from the start, and your decorator syntax is more syntactically heavy than simply passing you fibonacci function to your timer function. A pragmatic person would add their timing logic to their *test* before and after they *invoke* the function being tested, not in the function body. They would also be advised to keep their test in an automated test suite. By using decorators to test functions, you make the test logic depend on the decorator, which means it cannot be automated because you need to manually instrument your function with the decorator each time you run your test. I understand that the purpose of this video is to teach decorators, not design principles or testing, but you could have used a different example. You have a responsibility. This is the kind of video that confuses learners and leads them astray.

[@emman100]

Interesting. That is a fair assessment.

[@tsalVlog]

The point of the fibonacci explanation seemed to be exactly what you're saying, though? To walk the viewer through the problems to get the better solution? Teaching blind rote is how you get terrible software developers. Teaching how to find the problem and solve it will get us wonderful software developers. I'm not sure what you mean by "normal person" here, because if I were hiring a developer (I am one), I would hire the one who knew how to solve problems without having all of the information -- instead of the one who had all of the information memorized, I don't care how many of the patterns they can name from That Book. It's a bit condescending to speak of folks who are self-teaching in this manner. I'm not sure you meant that, as it's clear your intention is to improve the content, but in a way you're insulting the very audience who is enjoying and learning. We're not here for design principals or algorithm critique; this isn't that channel. We're here to learn basics and help others learn them as well. If you think of this series as helping teach people how to _learn how to program, using python as the teaching language_ and not "how to python", you might see what I mean?

[@ApprendreSansNecessite]

@@tsalVlog I think you are very generous in your interpretation of the video. The trope you are referring to is actually used to present a bad practice as an improvement. Nowhere is it said that this use of decorators shows poor separation of concerns, to the contrary, this fact is completely obscured, and the comical over-engineering of global_fibonacci is not addressed. I want to stress again that I know this is not a video about good design, but it is teaching a terrible approach to programming, which is to substitute good design with tools: instead of teaching that the testing logic should be moved to the testing code, you are taught a powerful way to couple the testing logic with the implementation. This is totally backwards. I have a difficult time in my job explaining to people that, just because they have a powerful testing library at they disposal for example, it does not mean they can butcher the architecture. I am forced to deal with the aftermath of this way of teaching. I am also self-taught, and you have no idea the amount of time I have wasted because of poor quality learning material. I wish I could rewind time, start over and take different decisions. Socratica obviously put a lot of effort in the production of this video, and they seem to be a reliable source, so it strikes me as odd that the issues I mentionned were overlooked. Teaching is not about making you aware of new information. It is about changing the structure of your brain. The problem when you learn the wrong thing is that you identify the wrong thing as the "right way", and since you want to be a good developer, you identify with this "right way" and you resist change when you are exposed to a different opinion or practice. I especially face this issue with people who just graduated, since self-taught people are usually more anxious about having holes in their training and are more humble as a result, but it can still happen. I am not sure I understand what you meant about hiring. I totally agree with you and it was certainly not my intention to be insulting. I apologise. You got triggered by "a normal person" and I now understand how it could have been misinterpreted. I guess I should have said "pragmatic" or something. By the way if you have suggestions for improving my original comment, I will consider them.

[@palmwaytech]

For some positive reason , during coding and doing python, it does make your brain think and make you think / focus better. You have to know what is going on , how the numbers and equation , what is it doing to get the results . If i could just do python entirely , that would be nice.

[@stearin1978]

11:27 - what was not clear for me: here we CALL the function timer with ( ). But according to definition of timer it RETURN wrapper (doesn't call it!). So we are writing here sort of : primer_factorization_timer = wrapper() calling the function timer returns.

[@davidmurphy563]

9:22 the else was unnecessary, is ugly code, is unnecessarily indented and is unnecessary computational expense. When the function is returning then it'll never get to the next line. An else really slows things down because the computer is unsure about what to hold in cache / ram as it depends on the branch. Just remove the else and you have the same functionality but more concise and more efficient.
