I would have thought that you would use process_view(), so that the view function has already been looked up, and you can just introspect it. I'd be worried that the anonymous user shouldn't be modified. I'd add the decoration to the request, or maybe request.META, rather than the user. It might be cleaner yet to write a decorator for your view that adds the information as an early positional argument (say, just after request) at call time. This also allows you to avoid the work for views that don't need it. Or if you're doing this to views that are outside of your control, so that you couldn't decorate them, maybe I see why you want to put the data on the user. If so, do check that the anonymous user accepts attribute setting. And I believe that request.user is a lazy object, so try referencing, say, request.user.email before you modify the user object, to see if that makes a difference.
