Default auth with username but unique email, is it possible?

[Bruce Li]

Hi,

I'm using django's default auth settings in my app. All I want is to make email unique for each user. Is it possible to do that without creating a custom user model and user manager?

Thanks.

There's a solution referred here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1160030/how-to-make-email-field-unique-in-model-user-from-contrib-auth-in-django

This solution basically override the clean_email method of the UserForm, and check if the email is unique, raising an error if it's not.
But I rather stick with the custom user model, cleaner. Any reason why you wouldn't like to create the custom user model?
