Is it safe to code against django’s auth_view for password_change or is there any class-based view that I can use?
I am converting all my function based views to class based views, but I have coded against django’s auth_view that is not class based.
To answer your updated question about whether Django will support class-based auth views in the core: based on what I can see in Django trunk (1.4 should be released soon), the answer is “no, not anytime soon.”
There is one project that I’ve found that has a provides some class-based views for authentication.
django-class-based-auth-views
It only has the login view at the moment, though.
Update: Myself and my employer have released a packaged called django-sky-visitor that has some class based authentication views in it that might be helpful here.
