I have a Google App Engine app based on django / django_appengine that I wish to modify by adding user profile support to it, because the basic user model is a bit simplistic for my situation.
What's the best way to do this?
A:
You can create a Model called for example UserProfile which has as its key a user's email address or user ID.
UserProfile profile = UserProfile.get_or_create(user.user_id) will make sure that no user profiles are created for existing user IDs.

user.user_id only exists for google accounts, it won't work for OpenID accounts

You can use email then, or maybe key of the `User` you get from `get_current_user()`
