In my urls.py I have this:

(r'^myapp/$', 'myapp.views.views.index'),
(r'^myapp/login/$', 'myapp.views.views.login_user'),

In my settings.py I have this:

LOGIN_URL = '/myapp/login'

In my views.py I have this:

@login_required((login_url='/myapp/login/')
def index(request):
    return render_to_response('index.html')

def login_user(request):
    #login stuff
    return render(request, 'registration/login.html', {'state':state, 'username': username})

I can go to mysite.com/myapp/login and the login page works. However, when I go to mysite.com/myapp/index I do not get redirected to the login page even though I am logged out. Why is that and how do I fix it?
