You'll end up dispatching every URL to the same view and then essentially building your own dispatcher to further dispatch to the "real" view functions. Or attach a decorator to those views you want this to happen to. Because, the point is, you rarely want such a thing to run for *every* view function. In any significantly sized application, there is rarely common stuff that runs for every single view that cannot be done via middleware. You're already receiving a request object in your functions, you can pass in extra parameters through that (just like we do with request.session, etc). In other words, the functionality already exists. It's spelled slightly differently to other frameworks, but that's pretty normal -- everybody has slightly different ways of writing the same thing. The option you are looking for is middleware. If you don't want to use that, that's fine and writing a wrapper to make it all automatic is obviously possible. But it's not shipped with Django, since we already provide one way to achieve this functionality.
