Redirect all requests for www. to root domain

Question

I need to redirect all requests coming from www.mysite.com to mysite.com

I have found the solution in rails, but how can I do that in Django/Python?

The only solution I could find, which was posted by a moderator on GoDaddy was the above. Seems like I cannot resolve this kind of problem through the DNS Manager of GoDaddy.

Solved with this:

from django.http import HttpResponsePermanentRedirect

class WWWRedirectMiddleware(object):
    def process_request(self, request):
        if request.META['HTTP_HOST'].startswith('www.'):
            return HttpResponsePermanentRedirect('http://example.com')
