I think the neatest way to accomplish what you look for would be to fork django-registration, and in your app use the fork instead of the original project.

That being said, you can have a non-email registration in django-registration without changing the code of the app. I've done it by creating a custom registration backend that sets the users as activated upon creation. Here you can see other ways to do the same.
