 Replying to [comment:5 Windson yang]:
 > I don't think this is a bug, in your example wrapped_view is my_view.
 You can use id() to find out.

 That explains why the test case is failing, but it's not clear that that
 should be the behaviour. Why should `wrapped_view` be `my_view`?

 If you wrap a view with `transaction.atomic()`, you get a new view:

 {{{
 def my_view(request):
     return HttpResponse('Hello, world')
 wrapped_view = transaction.atomic(my_view)
 assert wrapped_view is not my_view
 }}}

 But when you wrap a view with `transaction.non_atomic_requests`, it
 modifies the original view.

 {{{
 def my_view(request):
     return HttpResponse('Hello, world')
 wrapped_view = transaction.non_atomic_requests(my_view)
 assert wrapped_view is my_view
 }}}

 This behaviour is inconsistent.

 As I said in the original ticket, I'm not sure that this is a problem in
 practice. I assume that most of the time, `non_atomic_requests` is used as
 a decorator, so you don't need the original unwrapped view.

 {{{
 @transaction.non_atomic_requests(using='default')
 @transaction.non_atomic_requests(using='other')
 def my_view(request)
     return HttpResponse('')
 }}}

 I'd understand if we closed this ticket as WONTFIX or simply added a note
 to the documentation, but I think that closing as NEEDSINFO is incorrect.
