In another post, I mentioned that I was trying to use allauth's email_confirmed signal to change the is_active field on the confirmed user to true. However, the following code gave me the exception "User matching query does not exist."
from allauth.account.signals import email_confirmed
from django.dispatch import receiver
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
@receiver(email_confirmed)
def email_confirmed_(request, email_address, **kwargs):
user = User.objects.get(email=email_address)
user.is_active = True
user.save()
I tried to re-work this, and still got a similar exception, "EmailAddress matching query does not exist."
from allauth.account.signals import email_confirmed
from django.dispatch import receiver
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from allauth.account.models import EmailAddress
@receiver(email_confirmed)
def email_confirmed_(request, email_address, **kwargs):
new_email_address = EmailAddress.objects.get(email=email_address)
user = User.objects.get(new_email_address.user)
user.is_active = True
user.save()
Traceback is here:

Exception Value: EmailAddress matching query does not exist.
This is confusing to me, because I can check the email address field in both the user table and the "email addresses" table in my database and they both seem to have matching email addresses. Help would be appreciated!
Turns out the email_address returned by the email_confirmed signal isn't actually a string containing the address, but an object -- allauth.account.models.EmailAddress. This wasn't very clear at all from the documentation, but glad it's resolved now. The code that ended up working was:
@receiver(email_confirmed)
def email_confirmed_(request, email_address, **kwargs):
user = User.objects.get(email=email_address.email)
user.is_active = True
user.save()
