Require Login Middleware

class RequireLoginMiddleware(object):
    """
    Middleware component that wraps the login_required decorator around 
    matching URL patterns. To use, add the class to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES and 
    define LOGIN_REQUIRED_URLS and LOGIN_REQUIRED_URLS_EXCEPTIONS in your 
    settings.py. For example:
    ------
    LOGIN_REQUIRED_URLS = (
        r'/topsecret/(.*)$',
    )
    LOGIN_REQUIRED_URLS_EXCEPTIONS = (
        r'/topsecret/login(.*)$', 
        r'/topsecret/logout(.*)$',
    )
    ------                 
    LOGIN_REQUIRED_URLS is where you define URL patterns; each pattern must 
    be a valid regex.     
    
    LOGIN_REQUIRED_URLS_EXCEPTIONS is, conversely, where you explicitly 
    define any exceptions (like login and logout URLs).
