Not quite. I think your other app needs to discover it via the Django
authentication API ...

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4//topics/auth/#api-reference

If your other app has authentication methods you might be able to match
hashing algorithms between it and Django and it can do its own
authentication directly without needing Django.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4//topics/auth/#how-django-stores-passwords

How can I extract the user information from the

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/request-response/#django.http.HttpRequest.user

delegate this to a function in django-python and get
