[Python] How to access parent decorator variable in child decorator

I am working on a decorator in python. To avoid duplicating code I am inheriting a parent decorator which has a nonlocal variable defined. I am not able to get the exact behaviour in my child decorator as I am not able to modify this variable in parent decorator.

def parentDecorator(func):
initial=False
def wrapped(*args,**kwargs):
nonlocal initial
if initial:
print("gettting executed after initial call")
return func(*args,**kwargs)
else:
print("getting executed before initial call")
initial=True
res=func(*args,**kwargs)
return res
return wrapped

def evaluateCondition():
return True

def childDecorator(func):
def wrapped(*args,**kwargs):
if evaluateCondition():
myFunc=parentDecorator(func)
return myFunc(*args,**kwargs)
else:
print("do nothing")
return wrapped

class decoratorTestClass():
def __init__(self):
print('init called')

@childDecorator
def execute(self):
print("Hello from execute function")

dc=decoratorTestClass()
dc.execute() # this should be called before initialized
dc.execute() # this should be called after initialized


In both the cases the function is getting printed in the else call in the parent decorator. How can i achieve this? I cant change anythin in parent decorator
