On a related note, I'd recommend implementing a custom user model
immediately on every new project, even if you don't intend to change
anything on the built-in user immediately. It is as simple as inheriting
from django.contrib.auth.models.AbstractUser like this:

class MyUser(AbstractUser):
pass

And then setting AUTH_USER_MODEL to MyUser. At that point, changes to the
user model are handled via standard migrations.

Obviously this doesn't help existing projects. You'll still be stuck with
the foreign key shell game that is implementing a custom user after the
fact.

OK thanks Tim. I'll start the planning. I'll presume Django 1.10 isn't 
sufficiently different from 1.8 for which the instructions are written.


I wish I wasn't an underconfident wuss!

Migration of auth.user to custom user

I have read  widely (including the docs) and been daunted by the notion 
of coverting auth.user  into a custom user. I have data and wonder if 
there have been any recent recipes for doing this?


Thanks
