29005	django object builder	Sergey Glazyrin	nobody	"Hello guys!

I faced a situation where I need to patch django.contrib,auth.get_user function because the ""openstack auth backend"" should be aware of django request.
Let me describe the situation.

We use django-websocket-redis python package for websocket stuff. We do subscribe to user's channels, so, uwsgi_websocket process should be aware of currently signed in user.

For example, here, django websocket redis requires a recognized user in request object
https://github.com/jrief/django-websocket-redis/blob/master/ws4redis/redis_store.py#L22

BUT, the backend we use in our project requires ""request object"" inside to recognize if user signed in.

https://github.com/openstack/horizon/blob/master/openstack_auth/backend.py#L78

And as it suggests, it requires some monkey-patching

  This required monkey-patching the ``contrib.auth`` middleware
  to make the ``request`` object available to the auth backend class.

Instead I propose to add a simple way to do monkey patching directly in django

For such purpose I added simple changes based on ""Builder"" design pattern, so we may build Django object in iterative way and avoid monkey patches at all in different python packages.

Such change will simplify django object adaptation in another python packages.
