Re: Accessing attributes of the current view in Django middleware?

Thanks a lot for the replies.

Since the request is simply a dictionary, can you not append that attribute to it?

The view hasn't been called yet at that point in the middleware stack, so I don't think it would have had an opportunity to modify the request dictionary:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/http/middleware/#hooks-and-application-order

But I think your suggestion would probably work great to grab the attribute in the `process_response()` or `process_template_response()` middleware hooks.

Hey,

Try along these lines:

    def process_view(self, request, view_func, view_args, view_kwargs):

        view = get_class(view_func.__module__, view_func.__name__)

        view.my_attribute

Heh, yeah, this seems to be the only way.  I was kind of headed in this direction but I'm fairly new to Django/python, and to programming in general.  Is this safe/efficient?  I guess this just involves importing the view class once per request -- doesn't seem like a big deal but would love some feedback.

Thanks again!
