accessing variables from a decorator

[ashwin]

I have code similar to this

def my_function_decorator(f):
	def wrap(*args, **kwargs):
		my_count_variable = 1
		return f(*args, **kwargs)
	return wrap

@my_function_decorator
def my_decorated_function():
	pass

is there any way i can access my_count_variable from inside my_decorated_function? and even if i can is this good practice that can scale well?
