I\'m looking at the API for authentication
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/auth/
I can\'t seem to find information on simple user registration
While django-registration used to be the registration system du jour, it has been abandoned by the maintainer and doesn't work on Django 1.6 without patching.
Try maybe django-allauth - I would have used it if I had known about it when I was looking. (As it turned out, I found this question first and used django-registration, wasting a lot of time.)
EDIT 10/2016: Looks like django-registration is maintained again. It's on GitHub now: https://github.com/ubernostrum/django-registration
