The origin statement "which could be ... or whatever" **misguides** many newbies like me.

In fact, the ``login`` function in ``contrib.auth`` stores ``user.pk`` in session, then ``get_user`` function in ``contrib.auth`` gets ``user.pk`` in session and then passes it to your custom ``get_user`` as ``user_id``.

Which means, ``user_id`` prarameter in your custom ``get_user`` has to be the primary key of ``User`` object, too.
