If you do go the RequestContext route, you can wrap the standard
render_to_response function in a custom render function that adds the
RequestContext automatically, as per here:
http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/3/
and then use the custom function in your views, instead of
I understand that. However, I was hoping that the Django FRAMEWORK
would provide some easy mechanism for plucking that information out of
the session (rather than the request). Many frameworks provide easy
methods for doing so and, guessing by your response, Django does not
provide not provide
The 'core' problem as you say, is essentially the core problem of all
programming: programs don't write themselves. You have to write appropriate
code for what you are trying to do, what does it matter if someone forgets
to add the username to the render call, or if someone forgets to add the
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not sure this resolves the core
problem. In your example, I still need to add something (in this
case, 'context_instance=RequestContext(request)') to my
"render_to_response" statements. I'd like to eliminate that
completely since it requires a developer to add
That (or some variation) is the simplest way to do it, although you do not
need to attach the entire request object if you do not want to, i.e.:
return render_to_response('somepage.html',
{'username':request.user.username})
{{ username }}

A n00b question for everyone: My base template has a "Welcome
" section in it. Currently, I'm adding the username (which
is coming from Django's auth/auth framework) to the template with the
following bit of code:
{{ request.session.user.username }}
This works, however, it requires me to add
