That's rather nice.

Yeah, that's me being stupid! I should really have been talking about
having 'user' available, given that
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth' _is_ enabled in
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS.
So you _could_ argue that returning 'Context({'user': request.user})' would
be a more useful default than the current empty context.
However I think I'm convinced by Carls point that attempting to do things
with 'user' inside a 500 view might not be best practice in any case.
Thanks for the input both. I've linked from the bugs to here. Should be
nice and clear for anyone hitting them again in the future.
I'm considering making the doc's on the 500
view<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/views/#the-500-server-error-view>more
obviously explicit about the use of Context, not RequestContext, as
it's a bit of a gotcha, and reasonably easy to miss. IE, putting the text
"...is
rendered with an empty Context..." into a Note block to make it more
obvious. I'll submit a separate bug and patch for that when I've got a
moment.
Cheers,
Tom
