Comment (by HAMA Barhamou):
if this method worked:
{{{
extended_user = ExtendedUser(user_ptr_id=auth_user.pk)
extended_user.__dict__.update(auth_user.__dict__)
extended_user.save()
}}}
here: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4064808/django-model-
inheritance-create-sub-instance-of-existing-instance-downcast]
why not simply use it under the hood of django. Too easy. there must be
something I've missed. **I wonder what it is. do you have an idea?** or
maybe it's not enough to cover all scenarios.
