Django view decorator

Question

Hello All,

I'm trying to write a decorator in my views file but when the decorated function is returned django complains that the view does not have an HttpResponseObject. How do I return a decorated view without running the rest of the view code. Or should I just be using a function.

enter code here

def special_check(f):
    def wrap(request):
        # If not some requirement
        #     raise SomeException
    return wrap

@special_check
my_view(request):
    # Do the rest of my view work.

Cheers

T
