It's particularly useful for audit logging, permission checks, and other cross-cutting concerns that need to know who made the current request.\n\nThe package includes a context manager for temporarily impersonating another user and exposes a signal to customize how the current user is determined, which can help when using custom authentication methods or non-standard user models. It depends only on django and installs as a simple wheel with no compiled dependencies.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are on Django versions up to 3.1 and do not need active maintenance. The package is stable and lightweight for its intended use case, but dormant since 2020 means no support for newer Django releases. Install only if your project's Django version is within the tested range and you accept that updates will not arrive."},"id":"django-crum","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-crum","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-crum.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-crum/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-11-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-crum","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Django middleware to capture current request and user."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":441301,"position":6644,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.7.9"}
