This patch would allow control over the formatting of those fields from the settings module. This introduces a new setting named ""AUTH_USER_STR_FORMATTER"", which should be set to a callable that will be passed the User model instance and is expected to return a string to be used as a plain text representation of the User object. Example: {{{ # settings.py def user_str_formatter(user): fname = user.get_full_name() return ""%s (%s)"" % (fname, user.username) if fname else user.username AUTH_USER_STR_FORMATTER = user_str_formatter }}}",,closed,contrib.auth,dev,,wontfix,auth user model unicode,,Design decision needed,1,0,0,0,0,0
