which django version do you use?
the current 'head' version shows in django/contrib/auth/models.py:
---8<---
200 class User(models.Model):
201 """
202 Users within the Django authentication system are represented by this
model.
203
204 Username and password are required. Other fields are optional.
205 """
206 username = models.CharField(_('username'), max_length=30, unique=True,
help_text=_("Required. 30 characters or fewer. Letters, numbers and
@/./+/-/_ characters"))
207 first_name = models.CharField(_('first name'), max_length=30,
blank=True)
208 last_name = models.CharField(_('last name'), max_length=30, blank=True)
209 email = models.EmailField(_('e-mail address'), blank=True)
...
---8<---
So there is an attribute called 'first_name'
But, I think the fault is more Python related.
You will need to deal with an existing object of the class 'User'.
