New versions of django break login_required

[Akatemik]

Revision 3461 breaks down my app oddly. Somehow I'm able to access some
of the views (general views) but when I use a view in my app, I get:

Exception Type: TypeError
Exception Value: readonly attribute
Exception Location:
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Django-0.95-py2.3.egg/django/contrib/auth/decorators.py
in _dec, line 18

Traceback (most recent call last):

in _dec
18. _checklogin.__name__ = view_func.__name__

TypeError at /accounts/verify/
readonly attribute

If I reload the page, the error changes into:
Exception Type: ViewDoesNotExist
Exception Value: Tried verify in module teekkarikyla.kirjasto.views.
Error was: 'module' object has no attribute 'verify'
Exception Location:
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Django-0.95-py2.3.egg/django/core/urlresolvers.py
in get_callback, line 122

I can get back to TypeError by restarting my server. Running Django on
the internal server on Debian unstable's Python2.3.

I ran into this problem as well. I believe the source of the problem is
here:

If "readonly attribute" is to be believed, then I *think* __name__ is
readonly. This confirms it:
>>> def foo():
... pass
...
>>> foo.__name__ = "bar"

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: readonly attribute

Switching to Python 2.4.3 solved the problem for me.

I've reverted the assignment of __name__ -- thanks for pointing this
out! Looks to be a problem with different behavior across Python
versions, perhaps?

Yep, see http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.4/notes/#what-s-new-in-python-2-4-alpha-3
