I just ran into an issue where a user was copy/pasting username and 
password 
from a text file into the login screen. For some reason the c/p process was 
adding a trailing space to their credentials and they were failing login.

Is there a reason to not scrub leading and trailing spaces from logon 
credentials
in django.contrib.auth.forms.AuthenticationForm.clean? I guess that leading 
and trailing spaces would also have to be scrubbed when creating users as 
well
