views.py

class UserCreateView(generics.CreateAPIView):

    parser_class = (FileUploadParser, FormParser, MultiPartParser)

    serializer_class = UserFrontendSerializer

    def create(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        serializer = self.get_serializer(data=request.data)
        serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True)
        self.perform_create(serializer)
        headers = self.get_success_headers(serializer.data)
        token, created = Token.objects.get_or_create(user=serializer.instance)
        email = SendIntroSignUpEmailModel.objects.create_sendemailmodel(target=serializer.instance)
        mail = SendEmailMessage(email=email)
        mail.send()
        return Response({
            'token': token.key,
        }, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED, headers=headers)

This view will create a new user, and send an email with a six digit code to the user's email address given, and returns a token to the client, but does not log the user in.
