I get a 'topic not found' error from Google Groups when I click on either
the link in my email copy of this post or the link in the post at Google
Groups. So I cannot refer to the older similar problem to try to understand
what's going on.

You import login from django.contrib.auth but then you redefine login, which
means when you call login from within login you should recursively call the
function you are already in...but apparently that is not happening? You
also import 'authenticate' but call 'auth.authenticate', so I am suspicious
that the code you have posted is not really the code you are running, which
makes it rather hard to speculate on what might be going wrong.
