[patch] generic object_detail support for custom 404 page

[Maxim Ivanov]

It's handy to have custom 404 page for generic object_detail view. Such as "Sorry man, post not found". Here is a simple patch which adds handler404 keyword arg which should point to django template file.

It can be done with

from django.views.default import page_not_found

def my_view(request, *args, **kwargs):
    try:
        return object_detail(request, *args, **kwargs)
    except Http404:
        return page_not_found(request, template_name='my_404.html')

for e.g.

Which is less implicit and more versatile way.

Agree.
