Note that you can also use django.utils.decorator_from_middleware to achieve the same thing.

from django.utils import decorator_from_middleware
from django.middleware.gzip import GZipMiddleware

@decorator_from_middleware(GZipMiddleware)
def my_view(request):
    pass

sorry, that should have been django.utils.decorators
