Alternative to passing request object to every object/function?

Hi,

I am developing a Django app which relies on information from the
request object a lot, especially request.user. I need this object (or
let's say at least 'REMOTE_USER') in many models and I was wondering
if there is another way to get the request object?

In PHP there is something like $_SERVER which is a global variable
containing for example the REMOTE_USER. I'm afraid I haven't found the
Python/Django equivalent yet, but since it is a bit stupid to always
pass the request object as a parameter to objects and functions I am
sure there is another (better) approach.

Could someone point out what I should do in this case?

Regards,
Dan Klaffenbach
