Automatic Memoization Decorator

This decorator will memoize the results of instance methods, similar to `django.util.functional.memoize`, but automatically creates a cache attached to the object (and therefore shares the life span of the object) rather than requiring you to provide your own. Note this is intended for instance methods only, though it may work in some cases with functions and class methods with at least one argument. This is useful for memozing results of model methods for the life of a request. For example: class MyModel(models.Model): #Fields here @auto_memoize def some_calculation(self): #some calculation here return result

Add get_addr() method to request object

I thought it would be useful to have a `get_addr()` method available on request objects, similar to the `get_host()` provided by Django. This middleware will add a `get_addr()` method to requests which uses the `X-Forwarded-For` header (useful if you're behind a proxy) if it's present and you have the `USE_X_FORWARDED_FOR` header set to `True` (default is `False`) and otherwise will use the `REMOTE_ADDR` environment variable. Note that if you are *not* behind a proxy and have `USE_X_FORWARDED_FOR` set to `True`, then clients can spoof their IP by simply setting the `X-Forwarded-For header`.

Password Obfuscation Log Filter

This is a simple logging [filter](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/logging/#topic-logging-parts-filters) to ensure that user-entered passwords aren't recorded in the log or emailed to admins as part of the request data if an error occurs during registration/login.
