On your views.py, do something like: @login_required
def readme(request): return render_to_response('acpypi/readme.html', {'user': request.user}) I mean, your view has to pass the 'user' value to the template. I use this very same scheme where all my pages extent base.html, so in my readme.html: {% extends "base.html" %} ... I hope it helps.
