Answer 1

As gerdemb says, you should write it into a middleware to make it really reusable. Or (simpler) write a function decorator. In fact, there are adaptors to use a middleware as a decorator and viceversa.

But if you're worried about performance and want to keep the DB queries per page hit low, you can use memcached's atomic increment operation. of course, in this case, you have to take care of persistence yourself.
