Question

I’ve custom CBV delete view which should check object‘s owner against request.user.
What is the good practice to do it?
Currently I’ve been checking as shown below

equal_usernames = some_object.user.username in request.user.username
equal_emails = some_object.user.email in request.user.email
if equal_usernames and equal_emails:
    # some actions

Answer 1

As simple as:

some_object.user == request.user

Because Model as __eq__ defined as such:

def __eq__(self, other):
    return isinstance(other, self.__class__) and self._get_pk_val() == other._get_pk_val()

So it’s “equal” as long as it’s the same model class with the same pk.
