Er, a UUID is a 128 bit number. In its standard 'for humans' format it is represented as 36 character hexadecimal string (ie 288 bits), but how you pack that into your database is your concern - here is a way to ensure a 24 character ascii UUID: >>> import base64 >>> import uuid >>> print base64.b64encode(uuid.uuid4().bytes) y1WjDxxOT0KQVe4Jkwuj2g== >>> print len(base64.b64encode(uuid.uuid4().bytes)) 24 although django will still barf on that, it wont accept '/', '=' or '+' as part of a username - a really pointless and arbitrary validation rule imo.
