I think a really nice solution to this is to use a middleware. I've used something like this - it catches all exceptions, and writes each one's full django traceback to a database record. You can change the handling to use the logging module or whatever. I think this is great for a production

If you don't want to use exception (which I do when doing something similar). You can use filter and then check the length of the array returned. def my_view( request , pk ): obj = Class.objects.filter( pk = pk) if len(obj) != 1: return bad_key_view obj = obj[0] # Do
