Something like this (i didn't check if this code works):
from django.conf import settings
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
class MaintenanceMiddleware(object):
def process_request(self, request):
if settings.MAINTENANCE:
if not request.user.is_authenticated():
return HttpResponseRedirect('/maintenance/')
return None
Put this middleware after AuthenticationMiddleware in the settings.py
