Thanks for the humor!! :) >>> from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login >>> test = authenticate(username="testuser", password="testpass") >>> test <User: testuser> If that were the case it would more than likely through an import error which it is not. I use this same bit of code to login the use when they complete registration. Its when the user goes to login it does not return a user object to complete the login request.
