Middleware help -- screwing up the admin

[Ryan K]

I'm getting a very strange error:

TypeError at /admin/

object.__new__() takes no parameters

I've isolated the problematic code to my middleware for an application
I built called staticpages. It uses the same mechanism and so the same
middleware as flatpages. This is the code:

from django.http import Http404
from django.conf import settings

from asqcom.apps.staticpages.views import staticpage

class StaticpageFallbackMiddleware(object):
def process_response(self, request, response):
if response.status_code != 404:
return response
try:
return staticpage(request, request.path_info)
# Return the original response if any errors happened. Because
this
# is a middleware, we can't assume the errors will be caught
elsewhere.
except Http404:
return response
except:
if settings.DEBUG:
raise 'staticpages.middleware error'
return response

When I comment out this middleware, everything is okay.

Below is the traceback:

Please ignore this. I'm an idiot and placed the reference to the
middleware in the template_context_processros settings. And so strange
errors resulted. Please delete if possible.
