new_user = auth.register_bare(email='x...@example.com', password='1234', ...)
new_user.update_record(registration_key='') # This approves the 
registration - can be done later.
db.commit() # Make sure you explicitly commit db operations when in a 
script or the shell.

That will handle hashing the password and creating the default user group. 
Note, it will also allow auth.settings.register_onaccept to run, so if you 
don't want that, you should temporarily set that to None.
