Hi Hiroki, Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm afraid I don't see the benefit of doing this as configuration, rather than something in the dispatched method itself. Using your gist as an example -- why should this be something defined in a custom dispatching configuration format, rather than simply defining:
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs): if kwargs.get('corn') == '1': return HttpResponse('pony with corn') return HttpResponse('pony') Using this approach, you can be explicit about what you want to do; a developer reading the code requires no special knowledge to understand how it works (it's just standard Python code); you don't need to wrap the predicate up in to a function; it allows for more complex logic that can't be expressed as a simple predicate; and at the end of the day, it's less code as well. What's the advantage to your proposed approach? Yours, Russ Magee %-) On Wed, Jan 2, 2013 at 6:09 PM, Hiroki Kiyohara <hirok...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, and Happy new year, everyone. > Please listen to my proposal. > > I want django.views.generi.View.dispatch method to call methods in > consideration of some config. > For example, calling methods depending on the value of the request > parameter. > > So I wrote this commit: > https://github.com/hirokiky/django/commit/e3399495dca9a727568626f64e2fa276c2857da9 > > Description of this implementation > ----------------------------------------------- > View.dispatch_config takes a dictonary.
