I guess it depends on the implementation of the auth backend you're using. Really though, it seems like using a bool flag involves less "magic", and is perhaps more descriptive than making assumptions based on timestamps.
if user.is_new: redirect(somewhere) rather than... if user.last_login is None or user.last_login == user.join_date: redirect(somewhere) I'd value readability over reusing 2 timestamp columns in an effort to avoid adding a tinyint. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
