4049	`auth` context processor shouldn't error if `AuthenticationMiddleware` isn't being used	David S. <dschein@…>	Grzegorz Ślusarek	"TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS default includes django.core.context_processors.auth. This callable assumes that something (presumably django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware) has added an attribute, 'user', to the request.  So  django.core.context_processors.auth throws an AttributeError exception.  

It seems this should be better documented or maybe just wrap the return in the auth method with a try and return {} if there is an AttributeException.  Anyway, most everyone must use auth!"		closed	Core (Other)	dev		fixed			Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
