I have used decorator syntax before but would not recommend it in this case.

@NoctisSkytower why would you not recommend a decorator in this case? What do you feel is the disadvantage or risk?

@tristan: Most decorated code involves methods in classes. Based on how multiprocessing works in this example, any changes that happen in the decorated code would not be reflected in the original object. All changes stay in the second process the add_timeout function ends up creating.
