Answer 3

The code you suggested works perfect for me, I used it in many projects since Django 1.4:

from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from django.http import HttpResponse

@login_required
def foo_view(request):
   if not request.user.is_superuser:
       return HttpResponse('The user is not superuser')

   # Do whatever you need to do

This code works perfect for me since Django 1.4 to 1.7 at least.
