Remember that the auth app is not anything special -- it's an app just
like any of the apps you'd write. It contains a model called `User`
which is, again, a normal Django model, with all the normal Django
model methods -- specifically, `delete()`.
>From the interactive shell, it's easy to delete a user::
>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
>>> u = User.objects.get(username='jacob')
>>> u.delete()
So, you'd need to write a view that essentially does the above.
Remember that in views, the currently-logged-in user is available as
`request.user`, so::
def delete_me(request):
request.user.delete()
return render_to_response('youve_been_deleted.html')
You'll probably want to implement some sort of "are you sure?"
confirmation page, but I'll leave that up to you.
Good luck,
Jacob
