Creating a new user at django

clipped from www.djangoproject.com Creating users The most basic way to create users is to use the create_user helper function that comes with Django: >>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User >>> user = User.objects.create_user('john', 'lennon@thebeatles.com', 'johnpassword') # At this point, user is a User object ready to be saved # to the database. You can continue to change its attributes # if you want to change other fields. >>> user.is_staff = True >>> user.save() Changing passwords Change a password with set_password(): >>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User >>> u = User.objects.get(username__exact='john') >>> u.set_password('new password') >>> u.save() Don’t set the password attribute directly unless you know what you’re doing. This is explained in the next section.
