add permission by name?

Hi,

I have been going through the permission documentation and i know i
can assign users with permissions like this,

*
request.user.user_permissions.add(1)
*

But having 100 or more permissions i find this method a bit weird. Is
not there a way to say,

*
request.user.user_permissions.add('auth.delete_permission') or what i
found in an other post,
*

*
def get_permission_object(perm_label):
from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType
from django.contrib.auth.models import Permission
app_label,perm_code_name = perm_label.split('.')
content_type = ContentType.objects.get(app_label=app_label)
perm = Permission.objects.get
(content_type=content_type,codename=perm_code_name)
return perm

def add_perm_to_user(user,perm_label):
user.user_permissions.add(get_permission_object(perm_label))
user.save()
return user
*

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
