The way to do what you're trying to do is to take advantage of the following: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#storing-additional-information-about-users In brief, you'll create another model, which will then be specified in your settings.py by AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE. From

Yes, Malcolm's “Django Tip: Poor Man's Model Validation” is very helpful. That should give me enough for this application (which is very contained and well-behaved). It's good to know that the term is "model-aware validation", and that it wasn't somewhere in Django 1.0 that I overlooked. It's
