How decorators can harm the code?

Python provides a huge number of opportunities for decorating functions and classes. However, there is one problem with using decorators - the loss of information of the original function. For example, if we decorate func() using decorator(), we will lose the function name. The fact is that we will use decorator() directly, and func() only internally. Therefore, the code will perceive func.__name__ as 'decorator'. This can be very harmful while we debug the application. We lose the docstring, and the argument list is now replaced with *args, **kwargs. All these things greatly interfere with the development of the application, but you can fix them with the help of functionools.wraps(), which I will tell you about in one of the following posts.
