How to log a user in
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To log a user in, do the following within a view::
from django.models.auth import users
request.session[users.SESSION_KEY] = some_user.id
Because this uses sessions, you'll need to make sure you have
``SessionMiddleware`` enabled. See the `session documentation`_ for more
information.
This assumes ``some_user`` is your ``User`` instance. Depending on your task,
you'll probably want to make sure to validate the user's username and password.
