If you're mainly interested in making the email field unique (rather
than a PK), you could use a custom user-creation form of your own. In
your form, ensure that the clean_email method rejects duplicate
emails. If you create users through admin, unregister the built-in
UserAdmin class and reregister your own UserAdmin class that uses your
custom user-creation form.
If you want to allow login by email instead of by username, here's a
starting point:
