I've using django-registration to do that...
class RegistrationFormTOSAndUniqueEmail(RegistrationFormTermsOfService,
RegistrationFormUniqueEmail):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(RegistrationFormTOSAndUniqueEmail, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
def clean_email(self):
self.cleaned_data['username'] = md5(self.cleaned_data['email'] +
str(time.time())).hexdigest()
return super(RegistrationFormTOSAndUniqueEmail, self).clean_email()
It's little "complicated" because I like to reg with mail and I like to show
the Terms Of Service.
At clean_email I'm creating a hash to save as unique in the username field.
I can help you more if you like, but I did this lot of time ago... it's
complicated :p But django-registration is very good documented
