Try something like this:
auth_header = request.META['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION']
auth_type, auth_str = auth_header.split()
if auth_type != 'Basic':
# do something for invalid auth type here
decoded = base64.decodestring(auth_str)
user, passwd = decoded.split(':')
# write code to verify user and password here
Remember to "import base64" (it's built in to Python.)
