✅

The purpose of method_decorator is to convert a function decorator into a method decorator. But since you’re writing your own decorator, you can just go ahead and write it as an actual method decorator:

class myView(TemplateView):

    @request_management
    def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        ... 
        return super(myView, self).dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs)

    def request_management(method): 
        @wraps(method)
        def decorator(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
            logger.debug("request = %s" % str(request))
            self.request = request

            return method(self, request, *args, **kwargs)

        return decorator
