Is it possible acess request data into a django generic list view?

I need to have access to some request data (username) into a template used in a generic list view. I serched django documentation but this subject is not so clear (to me) at a first glance.

My situation is like this:

**urls.py:**

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns
from django.views.generic.base import TemplateView

...

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ...
    (r'^pattern.html', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="template_name.html")),
    ...
)

** template_name.html **

{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block title %}My title{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
    <h2>My heading</h2>
<a href="{% url path.to.my.view.view_name_1 %}">link text 1</a> | 
<a href="{% url path.to.my.view.view_name_2 %}">link text 2</a> | 
<a href="{% url path.to.my.view.view_name_3 request.username  %}">link for {{username}}</a> | 
{% endblock %}

Here (template_name.html) is where I want to use the request data. To compose a link to another view passing as parameter request.user

This post says tels somthing about generics but its not exactly what i need.

{{ user.username }} is always available in a generic view, because of the auth context processor. If you need anything else from the request, you'll need to add the request context processor.
