How to pass Django request object in user_passes_test decorator callable function

Question

I am using Django user_passes_test decorator to check the User Permission.

@user_passes_test(lambda u: has_add_permission(u, \"project\"))
def create_project

I found editing user_passes_test to have the decorated function operate on request rather than request.user not to be overly difficult. I have a short version in this blog post about a view decorator decorator, but for posterity, here's my full edited code:

def request_passes_test(test_func, login_url=None, redirect_field_name=REDIRECT_FIELD_NAME):
    """
    Decorator for views that checks that the request passes the given test,
    redirecting to the log-in page if necessary. The test should be a callable
    that takes the request object and returns True if the request passes.
    """

    def decorator(view_func):
        @wraps(view_func, assigned=available_attrs(view_func))
        def _wrapped_view(request, *args, **kwargs):
            if test_func(request):
                return view_func(request, *args, **kwargs)
            path = request.build_absolute_uri()
            # urlparse chokes on lazy objects in Python 3, force to str
            resolved_login_url = force_str(
                resolve_url(login_url or settings.LOGIN_URL))
            # If the login url is the same scheme and net location then just
            # use the path as the "next" url.
            login_scheme, login_netloc = urlparse(resolved_login_url)[:2]
            current_scheme, current_netloc = urlparse(path)[:2]
            if ((not login_scheme or login_scheme == current_scheme) and
                    (not login_netloc or login_netloc == current_netloc)):
                path = request.get_full_path()
            from django.contrib.auth.views import redirect_to_login
            return redirect_to_login(
                path, resolved_login_url, redirect_field_name)
        return _wrapped_view
    return decorator

Pretty much the only thing I did was change if test_func(request.user): to if test_func(request):.
