How do I get the user related to the current request in templatetag?
Using RequestContext?

@register.tag(name='sometag')
def sometag(parser, token):
    try:
        tagname, model_inst = token.split_contents()
    except ValueError:
        raise template.TemplateSyntaxError, "%r tag requires exactly
one argument" % tagname

    return FormatNode(model_inst)

class FormatNode(template.Node):

    def __init__(self, model_inst):
        self.model_inst = template.Variable(model_inst)

    def render(self, context):
        try:
            p = self.model_inst.resolve(context)
            # Here I'd like to get hold of the user object, but how??
        except Exception, e:
            return ''

Thanks in advance,

Assuming the template was rendered with RequestContext as you imply, you can do `context['user']`.
