Thank you. So LazyUser is there to cache the user instance.
In LazyUser(object), the user instance is stored in request._cached_user In AuthenticationMiddleware(object), the user instance is stored in request.__class__.user But I don't see request.user being assigned at all. Where does that happen? So what are the differences between the following three: request._cached_user request.__class__.user request.user Why have 3 different user attributes? I'm confused. Thanks.
