Hello,

Does anyone have experience with transitioning an existing database *including 
user login data* to Django?

I am about to begin work on a startup's hand-written web portal that 
consists of about 2000 lines of custom Python code (hashing passwords, 
managing user accounts, DB connections, etc.), some Mako templates, and a 
Postgresql database. A hand-written web framework makes me nervous for many 
reasons. I don't have access to the source code or the database yet, but my 
plan is to transition it to Django 1.8. I'd like to use *inspectdb* to help 
generate the models, but I doubt *inspectdb* will be smart enough to handle 
usernames and password hashes properly. How can I make sure this data gets 
transferred correctly?

I'm looking for ideas about how to proceed and/or what to expect during the 
transition. Thanks.

-EP
