decorator for decorators with optional args

Have you ever wanted a decorator that you could apply either straight-out: @mydec def myfun(...): ... or with special arguments: @mydec(special=foo) def myfun(...): ... ? Well, decorate it with this metadecorator, and voila. (I had this idea independently, but it's been done before as decorator_withargs: http://osdir.com/ml/python.ideas/2008-01/msg00048.html. My version is actually useful because it deals with signatures and calling directly.) As http://www.siafoo.net/article/68 points out, the standard decorator module has too much magic: the "@decorator" decorator expects a wrapping function, not a working decorator. This module fixes that.

Decorate every view in a url tree

Add login_required (or any other combination of decorators) to any view references by the urls created by patterns(...). My personal little itch as an example... urlpatterns += required( login_required, patterns('', (r'^api/', include(api.urls)), ) )

Active Directory Authentication Backend (with User object updating)

I used the code from http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/901/ and expanded the code to have the possibility to map AD groups to the superuser attribute of Django's users. The code updates the Django users database every time a user connects, so every change in the AD is replicated to the Django database.

staff_or_404 Decorator

Sometimes I don't want to reveal a staff-only view so I created this decorator, using ``django.contrib.admin.views.decorators.staff_member_required`` as my boilerplate. Non staff members are kicked to the 404 curb. Suggestion: Create a file, ``decorators.py`` in your project (or single app) and import like so: ``from myproject.app_name.decorators import staff_or_404``.
