I'm pleased to announce my first (hopefully) reusable app for Django: django-confirmation. The idea for this app came from my personal need to handle confirming object's creation on one of my sites. I found few apps performing similar tasks, but both are targeting single classes of objects, while I needed more generic approach (I hate this word...) — there are several classes of objects that need to be confirmed separately but using the same mechanism.

The use case for this app is as follows:

• non-registered/not-logged-in user creates an object;
• application sends an email asking user to click (within configurable period of time) on provided link to make the object "active";
• user clicks a link and makes the object "active" or
• key expires after specified amount of time.

The implementation is based on what I found in other apps, specially django-registration and django-email-confirmation, but with added support for confirming generic Django model instances (as long as they can have different activity states, that is).
