Django and urls.py: How do I HttpResponseRedirect via a named url?

The right answer from Django 1.3 onwards, where the redirect method implicitly does a reverse call, is:

from django.shortcuts import redirect

def login(request):
    if request.session.get('user'):
        return redirect('named_url')
