piccolo user subcommands show even if the user app is not registered

[scott2b]

I am wondering if this is expected behavior. The following items show even though I have not registered piccolo.apps.user.piccolo_app in my AppRegistry:

$ piccolo
...

user create
Create a new user.

user change_password
Change a user's password.

user change_permissions
Change a user's permissions.

Ideally, it seems like these commands would only be available if I am using the user app. Perhaps there is a way to explicitly disable them?

Ok, I believe the hard-coded inclusion of the user_config in the main cli to be the culprit here.

I have, for the time being, simply opted to create my own copy of the main.py cli with the user config removed. I have only tested it so far with the migrations subcommand, but that works, so going for the moment with the assumption that things will work in general.

One weird caveat: It seems that I cannot have my custom User in a package called user. I can name the app user, and that is ok, but if it is in my code under myapp.user, the commands will not show up. I have placed it instead under myapp.users and it seems to be working fine.

You're right - the builtin user app is auto registered. Your solution sounds like a good one for now. Ideally there would be an option in piccolo_conf.py which lets you disable some of the auto registered apps.
