Re: django-improved-user v1.0a1

Hi Joe,

I'm not 100% clear on what you mean by coordinating. Apologies if I miss the mark.

You should be able to use improved-user with both allauth and guardian (but I admit I have not tried!).

Allauth provides some notes on using a custom model, and covers how to use a model that doesn't have a username:

http://django-allauth.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced.html#custom-user-models

In Guardian's case, I would recommend subclassing improved-user.mixins.AbstractUser and guardian.mixins.GuardianUserMixin to create a new custom User model in your own project, rather than allowing guarding to monkey-patch the model. More about that at the links below:

https://django-guardian.readthedocs.io/en/stable/userguide/custom-user-model.html
https://github.com/django-guardian/django-guardian/blob/d8df846654634b93c3871d81d16304d553582e1b/guardian/mixins.py#L211

If you're wondering about whether improved-user will integrate the codebase with either of these, then the answer is no. With that said, I can see how a cookiecutter template that integrates all three of these tools together could be a time-saver to others, but do not have plans to create such a template and cannot currently commit to another project.

Hope this helps,
Andrew
