If this has already been discussed/rejected/accepted, sorry, I did a search and found nothing.
There are several snippets and a number of methods to enable "universal" decorations of views in Django, but none of them feels really natural. Also, being able to keep this class of code in one place makes it easier to find. Basically, what I propose is adding a middleware method, e.g. "decorate_view(...)", which returns the view function, decorated or not, or completely replaced. This new function would then be used as the "callback" before "process_view" is called in django/core/handlers/base.py. It would enable an easier way to universally, dynamically wrap views with for instance context managers, a process which doesn't really exist today: To do this with a view middleware would mean not being able to use another view middleware, to use process_request & process_response would mean not being certain "__exit__" was called. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
