Django Web Exceptions

Throwing web exceptions like in AioHTTP

What and why?

In AioHTTP you can raise any response as exception (this is very cool). But Django can raise only 3+1 web exceptions.

• 400 SuspiciousOperation
• 403 PermissionDenied
• 404 Http404
• 500 Any other non catched exception

This package allow you to raise as exception any of HTTP response.

Documentation

The full documentation is at https://web-exceptions.readthedocs.io.

Quickstart

Install Django Web Exceptions:

pip install django-web-exceptions

Add it to your MIDDLEWARE:

# settings.py
MIDDLEWARE = (
    # ...
    'web_exceptions.middleware.WebExceptionsMiddleware',
    # ...
)

Features

Import exceptions and raise anywhere

# views.py
from web_exceptions import exceptions

# ...

def index(request):
    """ Simple view raise redirectexception """
    raise exceptions.HTTPMovedPermanently('/foo')

Also you can customize any kind of exception status code as custom handler, defined in urls.py like django error handlers .

# urls.py
from myapp import views

handler300 = <callable view>
handler400 = <callable view>
handler<status_code> = <callable view>

For more example see example proj
