[FIXED] Get the user object from session

Issue

How can I get the user object that login() has save in the session?

user= request.session.get('user') 

returns nothingIn this example:

user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)
if user is not None:
    if user.is_active:
        login(request, user)

Solution

AuthenticationMiddleware adds the user attribute, representing the currently-logged-in user, to every incoming HttpRequest object. Authentication middleware requires session middleware to be installed. So, you should add this middlewares in settings.py to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES tuple:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = ( 
    #...
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
    #...
)
