After reading this article: http://blog.roseman.org.uk/2010/06/2/class-based-views-and-thread-safety/

and checking out this snippet: http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2046/

I realized that I was using a class based view without even thinking about the consequences... so, without having to completely re-factor my existing class based views to make them singletons, I wrote this wrapper that should allow my class based views to work as I intended, and maintain state for a single request only.

        """each time the class_view is invoked - for each request
        new-up a class_name and call it"""
        view = self.class_name()
        return view(request, *args, **kwargs)
