Hi,

I'm trying to allow usernames that have '@' in them, so they can just
be email addresses.  Maybe this is a bad idea.  ...  But putting that
aside for a second... The admin user forms don't validate with '@' in
usernames, so I thought I'd try this, which I copied from an older
post in this group.

from django.contrib.auth.admin import User, UserChangeForm,
UserCreationForm, UserAdmin

class OurUserChangeForm(UserChangeForm):
    username = forms.EmailField

class OurUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):
    username = forms.EmailField

admin.site.unregister(User)
UserAdmin.form = OurUserChangeForm
UserAdmin.add_form = OurUserCreationForm
admin.site.register(User, UserAdmin)

But it doesn't work.  The user form is still validating with the
'username' from the superclass, which is a RegexField.  Is this
working as designed?  Are you not allowed to override a field?

thanks,
Rob
