I wouldn't use it.
For the admin, I find myself using javascript just fine to do what I
want. I usually have a middleware that sets the current user id as a
cookie, then run something like the following javascript in the admin
on window load: (requires jquery with cookie plugin)
/* Highlight the currently logged in user. */
function author_highlight() {
var user_id = $.cookie("user_id");
if (!user_id) {
return;
}
var selects = $("select");
for (var i=0; i < selects.length; i++) {
var select = selects[i];
if (select.id.match(/(author|user|creator|editor)/)) {
for (var j=0; j < select.options.length; j++) {
if (select.options[j].value == user_id) {
select.options[j].selected = true;
return;
}
}
}
}
}
This keeps the python abstractions relatively unbroken. Note that this
may not be exactly what you want, but it illustrates the point that
you can do it in javascript.
