'RegexURLResolver' object has no attribute '_urlconf_module'

When I change the models.py in the django example to this:

from django.db import models
from django.contrib import auth
from django.core import urlresolvers

class CustomUser(auth.models.AbstractBaseUser, auth.models.PermissionsMixin):
    email = models.EmailField(unique=True, error_messages={'unique':
         urlresolvers.reverse("example.app.views.logout")  })

the following exception gets thrown:

Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "/home/ario/.virtualenvs/mdp/lib/python3.3/site-packages/django   /core/urlresolvers.py", line 358, in urlconf_module
     return self._urlconf_module
AttributeError: 'RegexURLResolver' object has no attribute '_urlconf_module'

In a vanilla django app with above models.py, this does not happen.

@ariovistus, the issue is caused by an import ordering problem, in your example code you call urlresolvers.reverse which will load example/urls.py, which will trigger an admin.autodiscover() call, which will load social/apps/django_app/default/admin.py, which will try to load your custom user model which will fail to load your user model.

I've included a setting to avoid this issue (not released yet), you can define SOCIAL_AUTH_ADMIN_USER_SEARCH_FIELDS = ['first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'username'] (the setting value is a list of fields of your custom user), this will avoid the import order problem.
