I believe you can use django.template.RequestContext to accomplish
what you want; in your view, do something like:
from django.template import RequestContext
<snip>
return render_to_response('somepage.html',
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
That will, among other things (and depending on the
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS variable in your settings.py) populate the
request-object with a "user" field.
You can read more here:
