[mod_python] req.connection.user generates AttributeError

Thanks Glenn and Grisha.

To recap:

1. Putting the assignment from req.user AFTER the req.get_basic_auth_pw call
fixes the AttributeError, and the LoadModule for mod_python can now be
anywhere in the list of Apache modules.

2. req.user can indeed be assigned to--smart stuff.

Cheers!

I ran into this too.  The documentation is wrong; you should use req.user
instead.  Also note that you *can* assign a value to req.user -- it's not
read-only as listed in the docs.
