from django.utils.functional import wraps and from functools import wraps
Question: What is the difference in functionality between from django.utils.functional
import wraps and from functools import wraps?

i m using django 1.3 and python 2.4.i want to remove sensitive information
from post data but django.views.decorators.debug is available only in django
1.4.So i copy the source code and put in my project from
<https://bitbucket.org/orzel/django-1.4-production/src/507b10c2c0e3/django/views/decorators/debug.py>.
but this decorator uses functools which is not available in python 2.4.so i
use django.utils.functional import wraps instead of from functools import
wraps.But still the sensitive info appear in error mail? any suggestions?


Answer: I don't think there is a difference. It is probably a backport for older
Python versions which don't support `functools.wraps`.

**Edit**

Actually since latest Django does not support any Python version anymore which
does not support `functools` I think its just left there for possible
dependency issues (in Django or in Django projects). It is actually even
importing `functools.wraps` directly now:
