Re: Right way to modify contrib auth package?

I'm sure that this is all obvious to experienced Django developers, but I thought I'd document what I did for my fellow Django newbies. Again, thanks to Anton for his advice.

In my application directory, I subclassed PasswordChangeForm and SetPasswordForm. Then I added my custom validation code, which is just making sure the password is at least eight characters long:

from django import forms

from django.contrib.auth.forms import PasswordChangeForm, SetPasswordForm

from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _

class MyPasswordChangeForm(PasswordChangeForm):

    new_password1 = forms.CharField(label=_("New password"),

                                    min_length=8,

                                    widget=forms.PasswordInput)

    new_password2 = forms.CharField(label=_("New password confirmation"),

                                    min_length=8,

                                    widget=forms.PasswordInput)

class MySetPasswordForm(SetPasswordForm):

    new_password1 = forms.CharField(label=_("New password"),

                                    min_length=8,

                                    widget=forms.PasswordInput)

    new_password2 = forms.CharField(label=_("New password confirmation"),

                                    min_length=8,

                                    widget=forms.PasswordInput)

Then I imported my new classes into registration\auth_urls.py and added my new classes as parameters to password/change and password/reset/confirm/(?P<uidb36>[0-9A-Za-z]+)-(?P<token>.+)/:

                 url(r'^password/change/$',

      auth_views.password_change,

      {'password_change_form': MyPasswordChangeForm},

      'auth_password_change'),

and

                 url(r'^password/reset/confirm/(?P<uidb36>[0-9A-Za-z]+)-(?P<token>.+)/$',
                auth_views.password_reset_confirm,

                {'set_password_form': MySetPasswordForm}, 

And that's it.
