[Python] Descriptor as decorator with variable arguments [duplicate]

I want to create a @property like feature with serialization capabilities. It would take some arguments. I have created a descriptor like so:

class CustomMethod:
def __init__(self, serialize: bool = True):
self.serialize = serialize

def __call__(self, func):
self.func = func
return self

def __get__(self, obj, owner):
if obj == None:
return self
f = self.func.__get__(obj, type(obj))
return f()


It works when I call it like so:

@CustomMethod(serialize=True)
def objects(self):


or

@CustomMethod()
def objects(self):


But I want to be able to call it without the parenthesis (the serialize arg will get the default value):

@CustomMethod <-- raises an error
def objects(self):
...


How to do so?
