How do I return a 401 Unauthorized in Django?

Asked 2010-12-05T01:15:28.083

Instead of doing this:

res = HttpResponse("Unauthorized")
res.status_code = 401
return res

Is there a way to do it without typing it every time?

python django

    def __init__(self):
        self.status_code = 401

...
return HttpResponseUnauthorized()
