Advanced Python features
We can combine our library created in the earlier section into our network mapping tool and transform our code, which does a network scan and a port scan of the discovered IP addresses. Let us keep it there and talk about some more advanced Python features, starting with decorators.
Decorators
Decorators are a powerful aspect of Python’s syntax, allowing you to modify or enhance the behavior of functions or methods without changing their source code.
For an improved understanding of Python decorators, we will delve into the examination of the following code:
1. def timing_decorator(func): 2. def wrapper(*args, **kwargs): 3. start_time = time.time() # Record the start time 4. result = func(*args, **kwargs) # Call the original function 5. ...
