Django snippets: render

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.template import RequestContext

def render_with(template):
    def render_with_decorator(view_func):
        def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
            request = args[0]
            context = view_func(*args, **kwargs)
            return render_to_response(
                template, 
                context, 
                context_instance=RequestContext(request),
            )
        return wrapper
    return render_with_decorator

Automatically render your view using render_to_response with the given template name and context, using RequestContext (if you don't know what this is you probably want to be using it). For example:

@render_with('books/ledger/index.html')
def ledger_index(request):
    return {
        'accounts': ledger.Account.objects.order_by('number'),
    }
