If you are using the User model from django.contrib.auth.models then
you can check directly:
user_exists = False
try:
u = User.objects.get(username='john')
user_exists = True
except User.DoesNotExist:
pass # or do something here
or following your code above:
user_exists = False
try:
u = App.objects.get(user_username='john')
except User.DoesNotExist:
pass # or do something here
HTH.
