I would like to automatically create some objects instance when a new user is created. I think using signals would be the best strategy but it seems there is no signal attached to user creation.

I am also using django-registration, but I would prefer using signals on user creation rather than on user registration.

What is the best approach for such purpose?

How about using `def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):` – ruddra Jun 03 '14 at 14:02
you mean adding that on user model? – Below the Radar Jun 03 '14 at 14:04
Django User model? If you want to override User model, you can use that. – ruddra Jun 03 '14 at 14:16

You can attach your own `post_save` signal on the user model. Check this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1910359/creating-a-extended-user-profile – karthikr Jun 03 '14 at 14:17
