I want to add a function at the end of the auth pipeline, the function is meant to check if there is a "Profiles" table for that user, if there isn't it will create a table. The Profiles model is a table where I store some extra information about the user:

class Profiles(models.Model):user = models.OneToOneField(User, unique=True, null=True)description = models.CharField(max_length=250, blank=True, null=True)points = models.SmallIntegerField(default=0)posts_number = models.SmallIntegerField(default=0)

Each user must have a Profiles table. So, I added a function at the end of the pipeline:

SOCIAL_AUTH_PIPELINE = ('social.pipeline.social_auth.social_details','social.pipeline.social_auth.social_uid','social.pipeline.social_auth.auth_allowed','social.pipeline.social_auth.social_user','social.pipeline.user.get_username','social.pipeline.user.create_user','social.pipeline.social_auth.associate_user','social.pipeline.social_auth.load_extra_data','social.pipeline.user.user_details','app.utils.create_profile'  #Custom pipeline
)#utils.py 
def create_profile(strategy, details, response, user, *args, **kwargs):username = kwargs['details']['username']user_object = User.objects.get(username=username)if Profiles.ojects.filter(user=user_object).exists():passelse:new_profile = Profiles(user=user_object)new_profile.save()return kwargs

I get the error:

 KeyError at /complete/facebook/'details'...utils.py in create_profileusername = kwargs['details']['username']

I'm new to python social auth, and it looks that I'm missing something obvious. Any help will be appreciated.

Ok so I'll answer my own question just in case it is useful for someone in the future. I'm no expert but here it is:

I was following this tutorial, and becouse he does

 email = kwargs['details']['email']

I thought I could do

username = kwargs['details']['username']

But it didn't work, it gave my a KeyError.

Then I tried:

username = details['username']

And it worked. But I had a new problem, the username from the details dict was something like u'Firstname Lastname' and when I tried to get the User object

user_object = User.objects.get(username=username)

It was not found, becouse the username in the User model was u'FirstnameLastname' (without the space).

Finally I read the docs again and I found out that I could simply use the user object directly, it gets passed to the function as "user":

def create_profile(strategy, details, response, user, *args, **kwargs):if Profiles.objects.filter(usuario=user).exists():passelse:new_profile = Profiles(user=user)new_profile.save()return kwargs
