Remember, a generic view is just a function, there's no magic going
on. All the arguments that you setup for a generic view inside your
urls.py are just passed as keyword arguments to the function.
So you could do something like this:
from django.views.generic.list_detail import object_list
def generic_wrapper(request):
qs = Articles.objects.filter(user = request.username)
return object_list(request, qs, paginate_by=10, allow_empty=True)
If it helps, take a look for yourself in
django/views/generic/list_detail.py, look at the 'object_list'
function, and you can see that it's just taking keyword arguments, the
same arguments listed in the documentation.
