Question

I am facing annoying problem.. i was trying to extend user registation with custom fields…
as below

import hashlib
import datetime
import hmac
from django.db import models

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from ecpCommon.models import StateModel
from ecpCommon.enum import enumauto
from ecpPayments.models import PaymentCard
from registration.signals import user_registered
from apps.ecpUser.models import UserProfile
from apps.ecpMerchant.forms import RegistrationFormEx


   class MerchantProfile(StateModel):
      user = models.OneToOneField(UserProfile, related_name="merchant_profile")
      payment_card = models.OneToOneField(PaymentCard, related_name="merchant_profile")
      current_state = models.IntegerField('State', choices=STATE_CHOICES)
      name = models.CharField('Merchant Name', max_length=64)

      def user_created(sender, user, request, **kwargs):
            form = RegistrationFormEx(data=request.POST)
            new_user = User.objects.get(username=request.POST['username'])
            digest=hmac.new("qnscAdgRlkIhAUPY44oiexBKtQbGY0orf7OV1I50", str(request.POST['password1']),hashlib.sha1).hexdigest()
            new_profile = UserProfile(user=new_user,api_key=digest)
            new_profile.save()
            #now add other fields including password hash as well
            uid = new_profile.id

            merchant_profile = MerchantProfile(user_id=uid,
                create_time=datetime.datetime.now(),
                modified_time=datetime.datetime.now(),
                payment_card_id=uid,
                current_state=1,
                name=request.POST['name'],
                 )
            merchant_profile.save()

my forms is as follow

from django import forms
from registration.forms import RegistrationForm
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
from registration.models import RegistrationProfile
from apps.ecpMerchant.models import Category

class RegistrationFormEx(RegistrationForm):
    #ADD ALL CUSTOM FIELDS BELOW
    name=forms.CharField()

Circular import…

You have forms importing models which is importing forms.
