I need to patch the standard User model of contrib.auth by ensuring the email

  • 0

I need to patch the standard User model of contrib.auth by ensuring the email field entry is unique:

User._meta.fields[4].unique = True

Where is best place in code to do that?

I want to avoid using the number fields[4]. It’s better to user fields[’email’], but fields is not dictionary, only list.

Another idea may be to open a new ticket and upload a patch with new parameter inside settings.py: 

AUTH_USER_EMAIL_UNIQUE = True

Any suggestions on the most correct way to achieve email address uniqueness in the Django User model?
