After some investigation, I think I found a solution. I added "self"
to the list of arguments on `return self.__request(*args, **kwargs)`,
so my decorator class now looks like this:
class restrict(object):
"""
Decorator for admin section of the website that need restriction.
"""
def __init__(self, request):
self.__request = request
def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):
if session.auth != 1:
web.seeother(config.general.base_url)
else:
return self.__request(self, *args, **kwargs)
I'm not quite sure why this works, as I would think "self" would give
the decorator class instance instead of the web.py page instance, but
alas--it works. Just posting it here in case someone else has the same
issue.
