The amazing thing about Django contrib is that, in general, it uses
the same features as are available to you in your models. So there is
no reason that you need to even install the auth system. You could
copy the code out of django.contrib.auth and customize it as you see
fit. The only thing is that code is tested and really complex and
might be doing things that you haven't even thought about, so you
might be looking at a project that is more complicated than you really
want it to be. The nice thing about auth is that it gives you a built
in function to add a profile to a user. This might be the best
solution for you. Check out the django book here:
