Decorating urlpatterns
One thing I wanted for a while was the ability to basically apply something like @login_required to a bunch of urlpatterns in one go, instead of having to decorate each and every view manually. In this example, the latter two views will always raise a 404.

Pagination for date-based views
Date-based generic views do not provide pagination by default but Django is very extensible. It provides a Paginator that takes care of pagination. Since date based views usually order by descending order ie from latest entry to the oldest, I used a queryset to order the items (on a field called 'date_pub') and then pass this queryset to the paginator which takes care of the pagination.

Serving null files
Sometimes you have to serve null files. This quick hacky generic view lets you do that. The best example of that is robots.txt, I want my robots.txt to always be empty, at least for now. The other example would be favicon.ico, but that's more often used to actually fill a purpose.
