[FIXED] What does the "at" (@) symbol do in Python?

Issue

What does the @ symbol do in Python?

Solution

An @ symbol at the beginning of a line is used for class and function decorators:

• PEP 318: Decorators
• Python Decorators

The most common Python decorators are:

• @property
• @classmethod
• @staticmethod

An @ in the middle of a line is probably matrix multiplication:

• @ as a binary operator.
