The problem with your question is that it doesn't necessarily have an answer. Outside of the normal request/response path (when views are called), the concept of a "user" might not exist. Django's modules can be used in cronjobs and even manually run scripts when there's no "user" involved. That's why, if you want access to the user, you need to pass it around. Still, providing your code is also able to handle the case when there's no user object, have a look at http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/CookBookThreadlocalsAndUser and http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/CookBookNewformsAdminAndUser for some ideas.
