"""A decorator that if written behind a function, it prints the function | |
call and the return value. It's mainly useful for debugging and adding the | |
test functions calls to the function doctest. | |
Example: | |
>>> @debug_decorator | |
... def my_function(a, b, c=10): | |
... return a + b + c | |
... | |
>>> my_function(1, 2) | |
>>> my_function(1, 2, c=5) | |
>>> my_function(a=5, b=3) | |
Output: | |
>>> my_function(a=1, b=2, c=10) | |
