Yep, it's best us case is basically acting as pythons anonymous function (since lambdas suck for everything but the most trivial things). Where in js flask might read app.route('/', function(){//do something}); python uses a decorator right above a regular function definition. The alternative is to manually add it after it's defined (in flask that's add_url_rule), but that kind of hides the intent of the function and is more cumbersome as you need to manually pass in the fn name.
