Re: Best DRY practices for a view function that will be used by all other views.

To create a separate decorator, then all other view functions are decorated by this decorator. For implement this decorator, you don't need to include the login function, just redirect to login URL. Is that what you are asking for?

it sounds to me like you need a custom decorator for your views, I
can't give you more details since I've never written one.
