Inverting URL security diligence - suggestions?

I'm interested in inverting the diligence required to lock down URLs for my Django app. That is to say, today we put decorators that are some form of @login_required on view methods that require auth, and no decorators on views that are wide open. I'd like to invert that (or force decorators on both). I played around with things like having the decorators pin an attribute to the function and then use a bit of middleware to assert the attribute exists. It runs into issues though, when it comes to using third party views like auth_views, etc. In general, I'm worried it might be too fragile.

I'm curious if anyone's familiar with a robust strategy for achieving this. Seemed like something that might be a common request for apps that do most of their work under auth.

Thanks in advance,
Phill
