Django user is SimpleLazyObject in Sentry

Trying to send the logged on username to Sentry. If hard coded in settings, I get the expected result on the Sentry dashboard. However I can't set the username in settings. 

#settings.py
from sentry_sdk import configure_scope
    with configure_scope() as scope:
        scope.user = {"username": "Joe Soap"}

So I am not sure where I should be doing this: 

    with configure_scope() as scope:
        scope.user = {"username": request.user.username}

I have tried my landing view and login view. But just get my IP Address back on the sentry dashboard. 

#views.py
@login_required
def landing(request):
    context={}

    with configure_scope() as scope:
        scope.user = {"username": request.user.username}


    return render(request,'paysched/landing.html',context)

Python and Django are not my home language, so my questions really are
A) can I do this?
B) and if so, where/how.

Thanks in advance for any assistance on this.
