If you know workaround, please provide it here.

On a separate note, another enhancement is to allow pyq to run the compiled code. We can use cython --embed to convert to c file. after that I don't know how I can compile that to be used by pyq.

As a workaround, you can write out what the decorator is doing manually. It's far from ideal, but I haven't found any better solution.

Example:

def decorator(func):
    ''' Example decorator; does nothing '''
    return func

def f(x):
    return x
f = decorator(f) # manually apply decorator
