access to id of current user on admin

The model code of admin application doesn't have access to the request, so if I want to save the id of user that is creating the poll, I can't access to it.

this may be more clear, something like this should work:

from django.core import meta
from django.models.auth import User

# Create your models here.
class Poll(meta.Model):
    question = meta.CharField(maxlength=200)
    pub_date = meta.DateTimeField('date published')
    author = meta.ForeignKey(User, default=User.id)
    class META:
        admin = meta.Admin()

a more general approach is discussed in #1132.

Superceded by #1132.
