Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

BaseAnonymizer

✓ from anon import BaseAnonymizer

✗ from django_anon import AnonymousUser

Basic usage: create an AnonymousUser instance from an existing model instance and access anonymized fields.

import os os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'your_project.settings') import django django.setup() from django_anon import AnonymousUser from myapp.models import User for user in User.objects.all()[:1]: anon_user = AnonymousUser(user) print(anon_user.email) print(anon_user.username)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaIf you override save() in your model and call anonymize(), ensure you call super() to avoid infinite loops. Version 0.3.2 fixed a similar infinite loop in fake_username with empty separator.

fix

Always call super().save() after anonymization in custom save methods.

affects: <=0.3.2

deprecatedThe built-in bulk_update method changed in Django 2.2. django-anon 0.3 uses Django's built-in method if available, but there may be edge cases.

fix

Use Django's native bulk_update instead of relying on django-anon's version.

affects: 0.3

breakingThe fake_email function default max_size changed from infinite to 40 in version 0.3. This can cause emails to be truncated if you expect longer ones.

fix

Set max_size explicitly when calling fake_email if you need longer addresses.

affects: 0.3
