Django Custom User Example

This is an example Django project that demonstrates the configurable User model available in Django 1.5. It is inspired by Dr. Russell Keith-Magee's talk at DjangoCon US 2013 Red User, Blue User, MyUser, auth.User.

Getting Started

Clone this repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/jonathanchu/django-custom-user-example.git
$ cd django-custom-user-example

Create a virtual environment for this project and install Django (1.5.4 recommended):

$ mkvirtualenv customuser
(customuser) $ pip install django

Run syncdb and create a superuser when prompted:

(customuser) $ python manage.py syncdb
...

Run runserver:

(customuser) $ python manage.py runserver

Finally, open up http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin in your browser and login with the superuser just created. You should see your custom user under "Accounts".
