How do I inline edit a django user profile in the admin interface?

Question

If you want to store extra information about a user (django.contrib.auth.models.User) in Django you can use the nifty AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE to plug in a "profile" model. Each user then gets a profile. It's all described here:

• http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#storing-additional-information-about-users
• http://www.djangobook.com/en/1.0/chapter12/#cn222

Now, let's say I have created an application called accounts with a model called UserProfile and registered it as the profile model for my users. How do I inline the editing of the profile in the admin interface for editing users (or vice versa)?

I propse a slightly improved version of André's solution as it breaks the list view in /admin/auth/user/:

from django.contrib import admin
from member.models import UserProfile
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin as AuthUserAdmin

class UserProfileInline(admin.StackedInline):
 model = UserProfile
 max_num = 1
 can_delete = False

class UserAdmin(AuthUserAdmin):
 inlines = [UserProfileInline]

# unregister old user admin
admin.site.unregister(User)
# register new user admin
admin.site.register(User, UserAdmin)
