Relying on Django’s built-in functionality and passing named parameters would be the simplest way to go.
p = User(name="Fred", email="[email protected]")
But if you’re set on saving some keystrokes, I’d suggest adding a static convenience method to the class instead of messing with the initializer.
# In User class declaration
@classmethod
def create(cls, name, email):
return cls(name=name, email=email)
# Use it
p = User.create("Fred", "[email protected]")
