This library is compatible with Django 1.4 and later. If you need to use older Django versions (which receive no security updates or bugfixes) you can install 0.4 version of django-urldecorators.

Installation and usage

1. Run python setup.py install or add the urldecorators module to your PYTHONPATH (or use pip or easy_install).

2. In urls.py file replace from django.conf.urls import url, include by from urldecorators import url, include

3. Pass a list of decorators and/or middleware_classes as an argument to the url function.

Example urls.py file:

from urldecorators import url, include

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^private/$', include('example.private.urls'),
        decorators=['django.contrib.auth.decorators.login_required']),
    url(r'^articles/$', include('example.articles.urls'),
        middleware_classes=['django.middleware.cache.CacheMiddleware']),
]
