Multiple decorators for a view in Django: Execution order

Question

I am trying to decorate a Django view by two decorators, one for checking login, and one for checking is_active.

The first one is the built-in @login_required<

Answer 1

It only really makes sense to stack decorators if they have truly unique functionality. Based on your description, there's never going to be a scenario where you will want to use active_required but not login_required. Therefore, it makes more sense to have a login_and_active_required decorator that checks both and branches accordingly. Less to type, less to document, and negates the problem.
