A generic subscriptions and notification framework for Django.

Subscriber is a proxy model. You may find yourself wanting to access the methods on a subscriber instance from an auth.User instance. There are a few workarounds for this on StackOverflow:

• using django, how do i construct a proxy object instance from a superclass object instance?
• customizing request.user with a proxy model that extends Django User model
• User proxy model from request

If you are using Django 1.5 or above, I recommend using the AUTH_USER_MODEL configuration variable, and setting it to 'subscriptions.Subscriber'. If you cannot use Django 1.5 or above, we provide an authentication backend that loads a Subscriber instance. Just add the following to your settings:

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ['subscriptions.auth_backends.SubscriberBackend']
