If I go to the Django admin page and delete a user, I want it to run some code before/after it deletes the user. I know about overriding models’ delete() methods, but I’m not sure how to apply it to a built-in model. Also, I’d like to be able to do it without ‘subclassing’ the User model and creating a (for instance) MyUser model.
Is there any way to accomplish this?
yes, you can listen to the django pre_delete and post_delete signal:
here is the doc link:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/signals/#django.db.models.signals.post_delete
