I monkey-patched User model with the following two lines: User._meta.get_field_by_name('email')[0]._unique = True User._meta.get_field_by_name('email')[0].max_length = 125 -- and noticed, that models loaded after those two lines are executed, are not reachable from User.objects.filter(). For example, I have UserProfile model, ...
