Adding first_name and last_name to django registration

[Zach]

I am new to Django and have implemented the django-registration app on
my website. I want users to input their first name and last name on
the registration page. However, the default setting only ask users for
their email address/username/password . Is there an easy way to
address this?

contrib.auth.models.User has a get_profile() hook that allows you to add
extra info to a user account from your own model; however, I don't see
support for that in django-registration at first glance.

I'm looking at the code from
https://bitbucket.org/ubernostrum/django-registration/

The django.contrib.auth User model already contains first_name and
last_name fields so you don't need a UserProfile for that.

Also the view that handles the registration takes a form_class that
parameter that you can pass in the urlconf, you would only need to
subclass the RegistrationForm, add your fields and then pass it to
django-registraion

I have tried to use this tutorial but I didn't have any luck.
