The above code has no initilization or instance to call the function. But can you guess the result when we codpy the code into the python complier? 

```python
this is decorator
this is decorator

>>>list_function
>>>[<function __main__.a>, <function __main__.b>]

def shout(word="yes"):
    return word.capitalize()+"!"

print shout()
# outputs : 'Yes!'

# As an object, you can assign the function to a variable like any
# other object 

scream = shout

# Notice we don't use parentheses: we are not calling the function, we are
# putting the function "shout" into the variable "scream". 
# It means you can then call "shout" from "scream":

print scream()
# outputs : 'Yes!'

# More than that, it means you can remove the old name 'shout', and
# the function will still be accessible from 'scream'

del shout
try:
    print shout()
except NameError, e:
    print e
    #outputs: "name 'shout' is not defined"

print scream()
# outputs: 'Yes!'

def talk():

    # You can define a function on the fly in "talk" ...
    def whisper(word="yes"):
        return word.lower()+"..."

    # ... and use it right away!

    print whisper()

# You call "talk", that defines "whisper" EVERY TIME you call it, then
# "whisper" is called in "talk". 
talk()
# outputs: 
# "yes..."

# But "whisper" DOES NOT EXIST outside "talk":

try:
    print whisper()
except NameError, e:
    print e
    #outputs : "name 'whisper' is not defined"*

# A decorator is a function that expects ANOTHER function as parameter
def my_shiny_new_decorator(a_function_to_decorate):

    # Inside, the decorator defines a function on the fly: the wrapper.
    # This function is going to be wrapped around the original function
    # so it can execute code before and after it.
    def the_wrapper_around_the_original_function():

        # Put here the code you want to be executed BEFORE the original 
        # function is called
        print "Before the function runs"

        # Call the function here (using parentheses)
        a_function_to_decorate()

        # Put here the code you want to be executed AFTER the original 
        # function is called
        print "After the function runs"

    # At this point, "a_function_to_decorate" HAS NEVER BEEN EXECUTED.
    # We return the wrapper function we have just created.
    # The wrapper contains the function and the code to execute before
    # and after. It's ready to use!
    return the_wrapper_around_the_original_function

# Now imagine you create a function you don't want to ever touch again.
def a_stand_alone_function():
    print "I am a stand alone function, don't you dare modify me"

a_stand_alone_function() 
#outputs: I am a stand alone function, don't you dare modify me

# Well, you can decorate it to extend its behavior.
# Just pass it to the decorator, it will wrap it dynamically in 
# any code you want and return you a new function ready to be used:

a_stand_alone_function_decorated = my_shiny_new_decorator(a_stand_alone_function)
a_stand_alone_function_decorated()
#outputs:
#Before the function runs
#I am a stand alone function, don't you dare modify me
#After the function runs
