This is the third part of my in-depth tutorial on Python decorators. In parts I and II I showed you how to create some useful decorators, but to keep things simple none of the decorator examples you've seen so far accept any arguments. In this installment you will learn how to write decorators that take custom arguments, like any normal Python function.

In this video I discuss a little MicroPython based project that I implemented in my home to improve the efficiency of the heating controller.

Welcome to the second part of my Python decorator series. In the first part I showed you the most basic style of decorators, which are used to register functions as handlers or callbacks for events. In this part I'm going to show you more interesting decorators that alter or complement the behavior of the decorated function.

In this chapter your microcontroller gets an important upgrade with the addition of a screen!

If you want to see me and hear me explain everything in this tutorial, I encourage you to purchase the video version from my Courses site. Not only it will make for a better learning experience, but you'll also be supporting my effort in keeping my blog updated with relevant content. Thank you!

As a follow up to my Setting Up a Flask Application in PyCharm article, today I'm going to show you how to set up your project with Visual Studio Code (Code, for short), which is a free and open source integrated development environment from Microsoft with great support for Python. Like I did in the previous article, you can see me going through all the required steps to set up an example project in the video below. After the video, I provide a short written summary of the process.

In this chapter I'm going to show you how to work with a temperature and humidity sensor.

One of the signatures of the Flask framework is its clever use of decorators for common application tasks such as defining routes and error handlers. Decorators give a very concise and readable structure to your code, so much that most Flask extensions and many other Python packages follow the same pattern and expose core parts of their functionality through decorators.

Today I'm starting a series of in-depth posts about different ways in which you can incorporate custom decorators into your Python applications. In this first part I'm going to show you how to create simple decorators that register functions as callbacks for application-specific events.
