Is there anyway to access the request object from a generic view?
Specifically, I'd like to access the request.user object.  I tried
doing it as follows:
(r'^$', 'django.views.generic.simple.direct_to_template', {'template':
'index.html', 'extra_context' : {'request' : request}}
hoping that the dictionary element would be evaluated within the
context of the view where request would be valid.  Alas I was
mistaken.

Any help would be much appreciated!
