DJ-BaseSite was written in Python 2.7 and Django 1.4
Description:
DJ-BaseSite (or Django-BaseSite) is a customizable login and register system with required email activation. While most people just use django-registration, I decided to write my own to learn more about Django.

NOTE TO DEVS:
A deactivation system hasn't been added. The login system needs to check attempts and display a CAPTCHA after a certain amount, this isn't included either. It also doesn't have an account recovery option. I plan to implement all of these things in future updates.
