Extending User class to save profile picture in django-social-auth when registering

profile_picture_django_social_auth

# This is models.py for a new user profile that you would like to create.

"""
this gist gets an id from django-social-auth and based on that saves the photo from social networks into your model. This is one of the best ways to extend User model because this way, you don't need to redefine a CustomUser as explained in the doc for django-social-auth. this is a new implementation based on https://gist.github.com/1248728

(from https://django-social-auth.readthedocs.org/en/v0.7.18/signals.html)

"Take into account that when defining a custom User model and declaring signal handler in models.py, the imports and handler definition must be made after the custom User model is defined or circular imports issues will be raised."

Signals are deprecated is Django SocialAuth, pipeline methods have to be used now.

from social_auth.signals.py:

"This module is deprecated, this signals aren't used by the code anymore and it's functionality should be replaced by pipeline methods."

Is this still working? I can't get profile picture from Goolge. Im I have to update something?
