I'm looking for a good django app that brings to me basic features like

  • user profile editing
  • password changing
  • save settings / preferences specific to my app
  • save authentication keys to external apps (twitter, rtm, facebook, ...)

I know how to extend the normal user model (see docs http://www.djangobook.com/en/1.0/chapter12/#cn222)

and there are also these apps around:

  • django-profile/
  • idios (on github)
  • django-account/

however, none of them seems to be ideal for what I want. Therefore, my question is, does anyone know a app that is better / more mature / more feature rich that I just didn't find? Or do I have to roll my own app?
