Other approach of making middleware (by decorators)

Other approach of making middleware. Advantage of is to specify, which middleware is used for which view function and in what order. Middleware function gets all arguments, that are passed to view function. **Example usage** @RequestMiddleware def print_params_middleware(request, *args, **kwargs): print 'GET params:', request.GET @ResponseMiddleware def modify_headers_middleware(request, response, *args, **kwargs): response['Content-Type'] = 'text/html' @ExceptionMiddleware def catch_error_middleware(request, e, *args, **kwargs): return HttpResponse('catched error %s' % e ) @modify_headers_middleware @catch_error_middleware @print_params_middleware def some_view(request, *args, **kwargs): print 'someview' return HttpResponse()
