thanks Hugo.

I think this is a common case: I (and peraphs many people) prefer
django to other frameworks because of its admin application: half a
work is already made. I think a feature like this will be very helpful
to many people, so I will open a ticket on django's trac.

Thanks to all,
Flavio Curella.

The model code doesn't have access to the request, so you are out of
luck. It's simple to do in your own applications (as you have full
control over your views there), but I don't think it's so simple with
the admin, as that's a prebuilt application and you don't have too much
ways to hook into the view functions - only into the model behaviour.

  That code above should work fine (I'm using almost precisely that in
something I'm working on).

  Try something like this to get the id:

>>> a = articles.get_list()[0]
>>> auth = a.get_author()
>>> auth.id
