Thanks you so much! Important if people wants to import it to Blender 2.8x, the code line
must be updated after importing to the blender version, so
and the menu is on the 3D View>right panel>View>Lock View Rotation |

Features I'd love to see:
-> ONLY prevent view rotation through mouse input. ('view3d.rotate')
e.g. 'Rotate View' is bound to 'Right Mouse'. 'Right Mouse' does nothing while view rotation is locked. -> Let me bind 'Right Mouse' to 'Move View' while view rotation is locked but remain its original use while view rotation is not locked.
