Django User model email field: how to make it mandatory

Question

I need to make the email field in the Django User model mandatory. It isn't obvious to me how to do that. Suggestions welcome. I am currently using:

from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm

for my User creation form, and combining this with my own custom UserProfileCreateForm

You should be able subclass the provided registration form and override properties of a field in the Meta class.

from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm

# Not sure about the syntax on this one. Can't find the documentation.
class MyUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):

    class Meta:
        email = {
            'required': True
        }


# This will definitely work
class MyUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(MyUserCreationForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        self.fields['email'].required = True

First solution did not work for me. The Second solution worked perfectly. Thanks a lot. – Daniel Tate Jan 21 '14 at 19:54

class MyUserForm(forms.ModelForm):

    email = forms.CharField(max_length=75, required=True)

    class Meta:

        model = User
        fields = ('username', 'email', 'password')
