django_auth_longer_email Description

Simple Django app that patches auth.User to 254 char django_auth_longer_email is a very simple (one file that is __init__.py)... whose purpose is to dynamically patch Django... in order to increase the length of the email field for auth.User to 254 char.Tested:Only on Django 1.1.1.Why?Currently, the email field has max_length = 75. However, the standards for email addresses state that email length can be up to 254 characters. Therefore, there will be cases where django's auth.User cannot save a valid email address.(Specifically, this app to address facebook's very long proxy email addresses.) Edit: Ironically, like a half-hour after I finished writing this app, RPX decided not to send the email field from facebook logins anymore. Nevertheless, an email field length of 75 seems way too low.How to use:1. Install this app through pip, or copy the app to your django project directory.2. Edit settings.py and under INSTALLED_APPS, add 'django_auth_longer_email' before 'django.contrib.auth'.3. If the auth_user table already exists, drop it (or rename it for now).4. Run manage.py syncdb to recreate the auth_user table, this time with the longer email field. Requirements: · Python · Django
