The _checklogin decorator in django/contrib/admin/views/decorators.py is very helpful - if a user enters an email address as their username, and authentication fails, it gives a message saying that email addresses are not allowable as usernames.
In a particular app, I am using email addresses as usernames, but still using the existing admin infrastructure. It seems to be working fine, except for the error message referred to above which is displayed on authentication failure. I think that the checking for '@' is usernames in decorators.py should be conditional either on a setting in settings.py or a module-level variable which can be set on a per-deployment basis to turn off the checking, so that the vanilla "Please enter a correct username and password..." message can be shown rather than the usually friendlier, but sometimes inappropriate more specific message. I'd be happy to submit a patch - just wanted to canvass opinion here before raising a ticket.
