How to pass extra attributes to User authentication view?

To allow users to log-in,
I have something like this in urls.py

(r'^accounts/login/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.login',
{'template_name': 'myapp/login.html'}),

But myapp/login.html expects a number of extra objects from
that
populated by the login view. In other generic views, I could
have
added extra objects by using extra_context optional method.
But this
view does not take the extra_context optional argument., so
how can I
pass extra objects to the template?

Hello,

To do this, my first guess would be to write your own view
that extends
django.contrib.auth.views.login

def myLogin(django.contrib.auth.views.login):
    pass

From there, you can add your own variables, and return the
correct
response for that template.
Hopefully this can yoint you in the right direction.
