If you're mainly interested in making the email field unique (rather
than a PK), you could use a custom user-creation form of your own. In
your form, ensure that the clean_email method rejects duplicate
emails. If you create users through admin, unregister the built-in
UserAdmin class and reregister your own UserAdmin class that uses your
custom user-creation form.

If you want to allow login by email instead of by username, here's a
starting point:

Modifying Django's User Model

[LeeRisq]

I am interested in changing the primary key of the User model to email
and also use that as the username.

I would like to maintain the admin interface as well.

I am uncertain about the ramifications of doing this. I understand
this change will need to be reflected in other models and some views,
but does anyone know just how deep this change would need to go?
