Technically, yes - but I failed to find a clean way to do so. Here's
some possible (*untested*) hack:
# project's urls.py
import photologue.urls
for purl in photologue.urls.urlpatterns:
callback = purl.callback
purl._callback = login_required(callback)
AFAICT, this _should_ work - but well, this is a (dirty) hack, and as
such is not garanteed in any way.
And if there's a better way (not requiring to rewrite all photologue
urls by hand), I'd be happy to know about it !-)

The first thing to understand is that in Python, everything is an
object - including functions. The second point is that functions are
mostly a specific case of callable objects - a callable object being
any object implementing the __call__ operator (iow : having a __call__
method). FWIW, classes (classes being objects too...) are callable
objects too (you call them to instanciate them).
IOW :
- you can use functions and classes like any other objects (passing
them as args, returning them from function, etc, etc)
- you can define your own callable types
Now : a decorator is a callable object that takes a (single) callable
object as argument and returns a (single) callable object.
FWIW, the
@decorator
def somefunc(...):
# XXX
notation is only syntactic sugar for
def somefunc(...):
# XXX
somefunc = decorator(somefunc)
