How can I make a chain of function decorators in Python?

Question

In Python, you can make a chain of function decorators by applying multiple decorators to a single function. Each decorator modifies the behavior of the function in some way.

Here's an example of how to create a chain of decorators:

def decorator1(func):
   def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
       print("Decorator 1")
       return func(*args, **kwargs)
   return wrapper
def decorator2(func):
   def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
       print("Decorator 2")
       return func(*args, **kwargs)
   return wrapper
@decorator1
@decorator2
def my_function():
   print("Hello, world!")
my_function()

In this example, we define two decorators, decorator1 and decorator2, each of which adds a message to the output of the function it decorates. We then apply both decorators to the my_function function using the @ syntax.

When we call my_function(), Python applies the decorators in the order they are listed, so decorator2 is applied first, followed by decorator1. Finally, the original my_function is called, and its output is modified by each decorator in turn. The output of this program is:

Decorator 1
Decorator 2
Hello, world!

You can add as many decorators to a function as you like, as long as they are listed in the order you want them to be applied. Each decorator should return a new function that wraps the original function, and the final decorator should return the modified function.
