Point taken :) Nevertheless, having a decorator described above would not change anything, it would just add flexibility (in my mind). The decorator would obviously only apply to whichever views you decorate, so it only forces it behavior on the views you want to use. The talk about redefining HttpRequest etc., however, is on a considerably different level. THAT would probably not go in the core until someone says "Hey, let's bring the goodness of Django to the desktop!" and I'm not even interested in doing it myself. The thought just popped up in my head. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
