Over-riding methods remove decorators inherited from base class

class X():
    @decorator
    def method(self):
        return

class Y(X):
    def method(self):
        return

Is there any way where the applied decorators still applies on child class method without explicitly decorating them?

Nope, since overriding methods creates a completely new object. It is the same logic that super(...).__init__ does not get called automatically, and the general Python guideline of be explicit - for example, if that happened by default, but you did not want the decorator, how would it work?

Does not seem like too much work to be explicit here, and decorate.
