What does "this" refer to here ? It's just a shortcut for the common case, you can always decorate the SomeClassView.dispatch: url("^articles1/$", ArticlesView.dispatch), # undecorated url("^articles2/$", login_required(ArticlesView.dispatch)), # decorated url("^articles3/$", ArticlesView), # shortcut of the first # url("^articles4/$", login_required(ArticlesView)), # this doesn't work There is an asymmetry here but that's not to say it can't be decorated, you just have to decorate the dispatch method instead of the class view.
