Overview

Django-transplant is an app for performing easy merges of django user accounts. It should play nicely with any third party social authentication backend.

Rationale behind django-transplant

When using third party authentication apps for django it is common that users create more than one account for themselves. While some apps provide ways to easily attach social accounts so django’s native user accounts, others don’t. This approach is often based on email addresses pulled from the authentication services, and may sometimes fail (i.e. if no e-mail data is available).

Django-transplant enables quick merges of user accounts performed on demand. Moreover it allows you to keep your logic on how to perform these merges away from views. Django-transplant provides some basic classes to reduce your boilerplate, and allow easy extensibility.
