django middleware return response and prevent calling main function

I want to use a form of cache using django middleware/context-processors. I do know it's simpler to just add the decorator at the top of the function but for reasons I have to do it this way.

Using this as my example of my function

    def cache_results(request):

        response =  {}

        if request.path == '/about':

            #my json response

            return {...}

        return response

the idea is if it matches my requests it returns a result and also prevent the matching function call from the `urls.py` from being called or returning the result basically acting as a middleware caching system.

the views look like this

    def about(request):

        response = {

            'title': 'This is the About Page',

            'activity': 'Check out this link ------',

            'additional data': 'something else'

        }

        return HttpResponse(

                json.dumps(response),

                content_type="application/json"

            )

Is this doable?
