Why is it neccessary to use libgmail? You could just activate the POP access to the gmail account and use the official SMTP server of googlemail.

Look at: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/email/

I am going to save everyone a lot of heart ache here. Add these lines and that error will go away:

in create_inactive_user(...)

salt = sha.new(str(random.random())).hexdigest()[:5] activation_key = sha.new(salt+new_user.username).hexdigest()

and change profile_callback to this: if profile_callback is not None: profile_callback(user=new_user, activiation_key=activiation_key)
