-----------------------------------------+------------------------
The "Using the Django authentication system" documentation page, in the
"Creating user" section [1], shows an example of how to create users
manually.
However, this example fails.
The example code is:
{{{#!python
>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
>>> user = User.objects.create_user('john', '[email protected]',
'johnpassword')
}}}
But running it in a `python manage.py shell` produces the following error:
{{{#!python
>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
>>> user = User.objects.create_user('john', '[email protected]',
'johnpassword')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
File "XXX/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/db/models/manager.py", line
187, in __get__
raise AttributeError(
AttributeError: Manager isn't available; 'auth.User' has been swapped for
'core.User'
}}}
Documentation shows the same code example up to the "dev" version.
