The Django auth module is just a standard Django app. If you look in django/contrib/auth/models.py you'll see that the User.username field is defined with a validator_list of "[validators.isAlphaNumeric]". In theory, you should be able to remove this validator to allow for any random characters your users want to masochistically choose. I don't know if there are any ripple-down effects of this, so you'll want to test the results. My first hunting would be for places that a username is validated with a regexp, and ensure that it matches whatever validator your username's CharField describes. -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
