6040	post_syncdb signal and contrib.auth permissions	Dan <danielnaab@…>	nobody	"This is a feature request for contrib.auth's management.py

In an app's management.py, doing:

{{{
from myapp import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import Permission

def init_data():
    perm = Permission.objects.get(codename=<permission string for models.my_model>)

dispatcher.connect(init_data, sender=models, signal=signals.post_syncdb)
}}}

where <permission string for models.my_model> is something like ""change_mymodel"", will trigger a DoesNotExist exception on first run of syncdb.

The problem is that contrib.auth is receiving the post_syncdb signal before ""myapp"", and there doesn't appear to be a way to force myapp to be the last receiver of the signal.  Changing the order of the apps in settings.py has no effect.

A suggested solution would be to add a new signal fired by contrib.auth after creation of permissions.  Or am I missing an obvious way to handle after contrib.auth?
