Creating a extended user profile

by

You can implement it using post_save on the user:

from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from models import UserProfile
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

def create_profile(sender, **kwargs):
    user = kwargs["instance"]
    if kwargs["created"]:
        profile = users.models.UserProfile()
        profile.setUser(sender)
        profile.save()

post_save.connect(create_profile, sender=User)

Edit:
Another possible solution, which is tested and works (I’m using it on my site):

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
def create_profile(sender, **kwargs):
    user = kwargs["instance"]
    if kwargs["created"]:
        up = UserProfile(user=user, stuff=1, thing=2)
        up.save()
post_save.connect(create_profile, sender=User)
