You should probably not use django-registration for user auth as referred to in the guide, since it's been abandoned at this point: https://news.ycombinator.com

- anuragramdasan 13y agodjango-allauth is a very good alternative that covers almost all kinds of authentications.
- leifos 13y agoThanks for the tip. We hope to include a chapter that uses OpenAuth instead. It is on our TODO list :-)
- kmfrk 13y agoCool. What made you go with OpenAuth? I couldn't spot an issue discussing it, but if you have a good link on the pros and cons, I'd love to see it. :)
- leifos 13y agoWe are still investigating the options, but OpenAuth seems like a pretty useful open and applicable standard for authenticating users. In the book, we are trying to build up a series of guides on useful tools and toolkits for doing things. So I'd also like to read about the pros and cons of the various authentication packages.
