You should change your code to:
@staff_member_required
def del_user(request, username):
try:
u = User.objects.get(username = username)
u.delete()
messages.success(request, "The user is deleted")
except User.DoesNotExist:
messages.error(request, "User doesnot exist")
return render(request, 'front.html')
except Exception as e:
return render(request, 'front.html',{'err':e.message})
return render(request, 'front.html')
and display the err
in your template to see further error messages

This may sounds a stupid question but I have difficulty deleting users in django using this view:
@staff_member_required def del_user(request, username): try: u = User.objects.get(username = username) u.delete() messages.sucess(request, "The user is deleted") except: messages.error(request, "The user not found") return render(request, 'front.html')
in urls.py I have
url(r'^del_user/(?P<username>[\w|\W.-]+)/$', 'profile.views.del_user'),
Instead the user being deleted I get
The user not found
.What can be wrong here?

AnonymousUser over 2 yearsI want a button for this, so when I click the button beside the User in a ListView of users, then it takes that users pk, so I can filter it.
