The only issue with this approach is that you're going to do an extra
db query every time an existing User object is modified. Whenever a
user signs in, edits their email address, etc. This may or may not be
a big deal depending on your app.
Instead, you might want to use the pre_save signal and check for the
existence of the id to see if it's been created yet or not. Something
like this:
def create_profile_for_user(sender, instance, signal, *args,
**kwargs):
if not instance.id:
profile = Profile( user = instance )
profile.save()
dispatcher.connect(create_profile_for_user, signal=signals.pre_save,
sender=User)
There's a closed ticket for adding a flag to let you know if the
object was created or not, but I don't think this is included in the
trunk yet. Does anyone know when it will be?
