I don't think you raised this in the dev mailing list https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/django-developers/password You raised an issue in Trac, which is different. I agree with Michal that this is worth looking at, and will pop it into a post in the dev list. cheers -- Rick django/contrib/auth/models.py line 308 or so https://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html \wWhen the LOCALE <https://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html#re.LOCALE> and UNICODE <https://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html#re.UNICODE> flags are not specified, matches any alphanumeric character and the underscore; this is equivalent to the set [a-zA-Z0-9_]. With LOCALE <https://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html#re.LOCALE>, it will match the set [0-9_] plus whatever characters are defined as alphanumeric for the current locale. If UNICODE <https://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html#re.UNICODE> is set, this will match the characters [0-9_] plus whatever is classified as alphanumeric in the Unicode character properties database.
