[Answer]-How do I authenticate remotely in Django?

Interesting. I’ve never done anything like this, but here is, what I assume, is the basic idea:

1) Get a good view of Django sessions; the basic idea is:

One logs in using the django auth framework login service
Django will create a session for you and handle all the difficult stuff
Django returns a HttpResponse with a sessionid cookie. You will need to send this back with any request following to identify yourself and ‘operate within the session’.
One logs out using the django auth logout service and the session is destroyed by Django.

2) Now, the rest is relatively easy.

Setup django urls.py with the appropriate urls for login/logout + computation service
Execute a post request to the login service with the appropriate parameters set
Catch the response, extract the ‘sessionid’ cookie and save it somewhere
On each subsequent request, include the sessionid

This should get you started. Good luck!
