If you’re looking for a way to simplify account management in your Django projects, this certainly deserves your attention.
The Django application is called, Userena. This customizable application will handle signup, activation, messaging and more. Userena is BSD licensed, so you can even use it commercially for free.
Userena has some nice bells and whistles. Not only will it deal with full account management in your project, it also gives your users profile options that even integrates Gravatar avatars.
Userena is made by Bread & Pepper, a software company founded in the Netherlands in 2009. One of the great aspects of Userena is that Bread & Pepper uses Userena on their own projects, so when Userena’s code has been revised, you can be confident that it’s been done right. When you mix that with the fact that Userena is also open source, Bread & Pepper gets feedback from the community, as well. A very dynamic mix of input!
Userena uses covers 100% in their testing:
Account management is an important aspect of any website, therefore we have chosen for 100% test coverage for every bit of code. This reduces bugs and makes sure that we don’t introduce any new ones when updating.
This is one tight Django application.
Userena covers all the bases account management should, but they didn’t stop there:
Userena comes with an optional, chat-like, messaging system. This allows your users to communicate with each other through your site. It’s use is intuitive and easy!
Of course, it wouldn’t be a really good account management system without privacy:
Permission for viewing other peoples profiles are managed by django-guardian. This way we can let the user decide if they want to share their profile to everyone, registered users or nobody.
