Good afternoon.
Here's the username field from the latest Django trunk's
django.contrib.auth.models module:
username = models.CharField(_('username'), max_length=30, unique=True,
help_text=_("Required. 30 characters or fewer. Alphanumeric characters only
(letters, digits and underscores)."))
Why is the format of the username so restrictive? The company I work for
has clients with usernames that contain spaces, email addresses, possibly even
non-ASCII characters. I would love to use the standard User model, but I can't
dictacte the format of the usernames of our clients' own systems.
Is there any way to work around this? We have already implemented our own
user model, but I would like to use the standard Django one to make integration
with apps like Satchmo more feasible.
Peace,
Andrew
