Re: [ver 1.5] AbstractBaseUser not found?

Thanks, Joey! Would've saved me a lot of time if they'd included that in the example!

Scott,

There is no django.db.models.AbstractBaseUser model. Try adding this to your import statements:

    from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractBaseUser

Hope that helps.

I'm trying to take Django 1.5 for a spin (used older versions for a while) to create a basic user that authenticates by email. I'm using the docs for 1.5 and it says to inherit AbstractBaseUser but oddly, it doesn't seem to be available to use. Here's my code:

from django.db import models

class User(models.AbstractBaseUser):    

    identifier = models.EmailField(max_length=254)

    first_name = models.CharField()

    last_name  = models.CharField()

    

    REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['first_name','last_name']

Here's what I get back from syncdb:

new-host-2:locations_site scott$ python manage.py syncdb

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'AbstractBaseUser'

I've tried the import every different way I can think of. What am I missing?
