WHY — Decorators instead of guessing?

Why interviewers care about Decorators:

Decorators questions separate people

who only read docs from people who shipped.

Keep it short, concrete,

and tied to Python work.

Stay structured

Name the idea, why it exists, then one short example.

Close cleanly

End with when you use it and one common pitfall.

STEPS — What happens step by step?

Before you speak the answer, walk the interviewer through these steps:

1
You stack them, and
Python applies the nearest decorator first, then the one above it.
2
Order matters: @login_required above
@require_POST is not the same as the reverse if either short-circuits the request.
3
How it works
Walk the main flow in 2–3 beats.
4
Give an example
One tiny concrete case you can say aloud.
5
Common mistake
What juniors usually get wrong.
6
Close
When you pick this over the alternative.

Key takeaway

You stack them, and Python applies the nearest decorator first, then the one above it. Order matters: @login_required above @require_POST is not the same as the reverse if either short-circuits the request.
