syncdb error caused by "rsplit"

[joe4444]

It seems Python 2.3 does not have rsplit, which is causing this bug (I think).
I have Python 2.3.4-14.3 and PostgreSQL 7.4.16-1 and psycopg 1.1.21-1
I think this bug can be reproduced with any new project using Python 2.3.x and Django SVN.

Revisions 4662 - 4664 produce the following traceback:

$ python manage.py syncdb

You just installed Django's auth system, which means you don't have any superusers defined.
Would you like to create one now? (yes/no): no

Sorry, I didn't notice that someone else already filed a ticket #3625 for the same issue.
