Decorated class question

[deathweaselx86]

Pardon me if this is a silly question.

If I decorate a class, then subclass it, does my subclass feature
whatever the decorator did to my superclass?

Thanks in advance.

Yes. The following two things are completely equivalent:

@foo
class Bar(...):
...

# and

class Bar(...)
...
# immediately afterward
Bar = foo(Bar)

That depends on what the decorator did. Changes made directly to the
class itself, such as items added to the class dict, will be
inherited. Other operations performed, such as registering the class
with a framework of some sort, are not inherited and would need the
decorator to be applied to the subclass as well.
