Django based auth for Tastypie

authentication.py

from tastypie.authentication import Authentication

class DjangoAuthentication(Authentication):
    """Authenticate based upon Django session"""
    def is_authenticated(self, request, **kwargs):
        return request.user.is_authenticated()

What's the difference between this and http://www.sysadminpy.com/2011/11/ajax-and-tastypie-check-if-a-user-has-authenticated/?

It looks like they've recreated what the auth middleware does. As long as you are using the auth middleware, these should be equivalent.

Awesome. Thank you.
