Hi experts, I am a first time web-developer who decided to use python web framework. I just finished the chapter on Sessions, Users, and Authentication in The Definitive Guide to Django book. I have some questions on the user models.
The class models.User is tied with the authentication sub framework and session fwk. However, my vision of the user is slightly different than what Django has. For example, I am thinking about not using user name, and using just the email field. Is it possible to use my version of User class to back the authentication and session fwk? The more I think about it and Django, it seems that this change is probably involved in re-inventing the whole authentication fwk in Django. Can some of you help me with this use case? Does Django have a way to use custom User class? Is there any doc, wiki, or blog that I can look at? I am using the 1.02 final version of Django.
