A more concise way to write that if statement would be if request.session.get('user'). has_key is deprecated nowadays, and .get() returns None (by default, changeable by passing a second parameter). So combining this with Soviut's reply:

from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse

def login(request): 
    if request.session.get('user'):
         return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('my-named-url'))
