AbstractEmailUser without get_profile?

[Andres Riancho]

Any special reason for not having a get_profile method in AbstractEmailUser? This is the get_profile for Django 1.5.1:

    def get_profile(self):
        """
        Returns site-specific profile for this user. Raises
        SiteProfileNotAvailable if this site does not allow profiles.
        """
        warnings.warn("The use of AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE to define user profiles has been deprecated.",
            PendingDeprecationWarning)
        if not hasattr(self, '_profile_cache'):
            from django.conf import settings
            if not getattr(settings, 'AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE', False):
                raise SiteProfileNotAvailable(
                    'You need to set AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE in your project '
                    'settings')
            try:
                app_label, model_name = settings.AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE.split('.')
            except ValueError:
                raise SiteProfileNotAvailable(
                    'app_label and model_name should be separated by a dot in '
                    'the AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE setting')
            try:
                model = models.get_model(app_label, model_name)
                if model is None:
                    raise SiteProfileNotAvailable(
                        'Unable to load the profile model, check '
                        'AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE in your project settings')
                self._profile_cache = model._default_manager.using(
                                   self._state.db).get(user__id__exact=self.id)
                self._profile_cache.user = self
            except (ImportError, ImproperlyConfigured):
                raise SiteProfileNotAvailable
        return self._profile_cache

Yes, user profile is deprecated in favour of custom User models. If you want to add more fields, you can extend the model as explained in https://github.com/recreatic/django-custom-user#extending-emailuser-model
