I recently needed to access request.user in a form, and found that I couldn't. Found many articles describing ways to accomplish this, such as James Bennett's [1].
I did get it working, but I'm curious *why* the request object isn't accessible from forms as it is from views. Why do we need to override __init__ to accomplish this? Seems like the kind of thing Django could "take care of" for us.
