Thanks all. I figured out my mess-up: In the view, I instantiated the form incorrectly as follows:
form = AuthenticationForm(request.POST) Instead of the correct way: form = AuthenticationForm(request, data=request.POST) The debugger weirdness distracted me from the real problem. I still don't know what happened with the debugger, but I've got other things to do, so I'm moving on... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
