I see, your actual problem is not really related either to packaging a
django app or to using custom script. are you using django's in built user
model ? if yes, then you can do something like this.
from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
def login(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
username = request.POST['username']
password = request.POST['password']
user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)
if user is not None:
if user.is_active:
return render_to_response('login_succes.html', {'user' :
user})
else:
return render_to_response('activate_account.html', {'user':
user})
else:
data = {
'error' : 'Username and Password does not match'
}
return render_to_response('login_failed.html', {'data' : data})
