Granting a permission to anonymous is needed.
The situation goes like this. You have a forum application, and, in the
forum model, you have some {{{ForeignKey}}}s (to permission) that will
correspond to the actions you can take in a forum, like reading writing
listing and commenting. Some forums are supposed to be read and written by
anonymous users. However, no matter what permission I assign for the
reading action, the method {{{request.user.has_perm}}} always returns
false if the user is not logged in.
There are workarounds, one of them being that you give {{{null=true}}} and
{{{blank=true}}} to those {{{ForeignKey}}}s and check whether they are
{{{None}}} or not before calling {{{has_perm}}}. But then you need an
extra line of code and will lose the consistency, treating anonymous
permissions very specially.
Trac (which the django project itself uses for development too) has
permission to anonymous, making it easier to set actions to be taken by
anonymous. It will be great for django to have that too.
