Answer 1

This note addresses your problem.

I think the preferred way to import User is:

from django.conf import settings
User = settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL

EDIT:

Looks like this problem has been noted but the project admin is being difficult about making the change. link. This is a bigger problem with the updates in Django 1.7.

I would say you could either: (1) fork the repo and make the change yourself, or (2) make the changes in your site packages folder after you pip install. The latter version won't work as well if you then push it to another server and install with requirements.txt. Note that if you do option 1 with requirements.txt, you'll want to point it to your repo rather than Django-registration.
