One of the major pain points of using reusable apps is modifying the view logic. No matter how many options you can pass into the view function, someone is going to want to do something different with it. I've been using Pinax for a little while now and modifying views is the only thing I don't love about it. Enter class based views. There is currently a ticket out there to make them part of Django 1.2 and there is a great example out on djangosnippets.org. Instead of trying to deal with everything in the url conf you get a class object with functions that you can override. The simple user will not know the difference between the two, while the advanced user can create custom views easily, without repeating logic. Who likes DRY?

This space will deal with the work I've participated in using the Django framework to build applications for enterprise clients.
