forcing user model to return first_name last_name if exists

Hello,

I have many places in my app where user (from user model) is displayed: templates, forms, fliters, tables etc.

It is displayed as username everywhere.

I want it to be displayed as first_name/last_name.

I can do that with monkey patching:

@receiver(request_started)

def patch(*args, **kwargs):

    get_user_model().__str__ = my_smart_str_func

I use "request_started" to make sure all models are loaded. (BTW, does there is something like "models loaded" signal?).

How ever, I feel it a little bit hacky. There should be more pythonic way to do that. Am I miss something?
