Comment (by collinanderson):
Would it work to just set request.user = user and not use login() at all?
It sounds like you want to manually attach a user to a request without
using django at all.
It's also pretty easy to swap in your own subclass of the middleware like
shown above, without needing to modify django.
Also, django handles the session and user lazily, so if request.SESSION is
not accessed, the session table is never queried, and if request.user is
never accessed, then the user table won't be automatically queried, and
request.SESSION won't be accessed. They're only queried as needed.
