This is because the decorator is for a view function, which has "request" as the first argument, whereas DatabrowseSite.root() takes a DatabrowseSite instance as its first argument. You could possibly write a custom version of the decorator that looked at the second argument. Or you could subclass DatabrowseSite -- in your own code somewhere; no need to even modify the source -- and override the root() method to do an auth-check first and then call DatabrowseSite.root(). Then you replace databrowse.sites with an instance of your subclass. Python is really cool like this: since everything's a first-class object, you can happily import databrowse.main and then just set databrowse.main.site to whatever you want. That is all completely untested of course (in the sense that I haven't actually written the code), but it should be possibly with a bit of attention to detail and error messages.
