User doesn't have backend so you have to use a UserManager (or BaseUserManager if you have custom User class)

BaseUserManager.get_by_natural_key(username)

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/auth/customizing/#django.contrib.auth.models.BaseUserManager

Assuming the user exists:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

User.objects.get(username=the_username).pk
