get_profile / get_model issue, capitalisation of AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE

[anonymous]

The docs lead one to expect that given an app name Profile, a AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE setting of profile.modelname would work, but Profile.modelname is actually correct.

​http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#auth-profiles claims that AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE is "The (normalized to lower-case) name of the application in which the user profile model is defined (in other words, an all-lowercase version of the name which was passed to manage.py startapp to create the application)."

This is wrong; the app_label part is the a python module, and hence case-sensitive.
