13093	cache_page decorator doesn't work on callable classes	Russell Keith-Magee	nobody	"The cache_page() decorator works fine on views, but fails if you use it on a callable class::
class:
{{{
class MyView(object):
    def __call__(self, request):
        return HttpResponse()
}}}

If you try to wrap this view in urls.py ({{{ cache_page(MyView(), 60) }}}), you get an error saying ""MyView doesn't have attribute __name__"". cache_page uses the __name__ attribute to build a cache key, but classes dont have a __name__ attribute. cache_page should also check for __class__.__name__ (or some similar key with a per-instance feature) to allow for wrapping callable classes.

This is a problem for 1.2, because feed views have been moved to a class-based structure, so it is no longer possible to cache feed views using cache_page().
