It is great to see this merged, it has been a long time coming. :)
I would like to add backwards compatibility to some apps and I'm looking
for a recommended technique. Could the following, or a better option, find
its way into the docs in a section specific to app developers tasked with
adding support for auth_user_model. Having a recommendation in the docs
would make pull requests with this feature more likely and easier to handle.
try:
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
auth_user_model = get_user_model()
except ImportError:
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
auth_user_model = User
class SomeModel(models.Model):
author = models.ForeignKey(auth_user_model)
Because this isn't backwards compatible:
class SomeModel(models.Model):
author = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)
best,
Tom
