Description

Line 57/58 leads me to believe I should at some point be able to pass a password to the createsuperuser command but there doesn't appear to be any mechanism to accept or test for it. It would be handy to be able to.

I think the --password option is not made available by design.

It is a bad practice to allow passing passwords on the command line, because the password will end up in clear text in your ~/.${SHELL}_history.

Line 58 only ensures that password is initialized before line 117. It is useful when interactive is False.

Take a look at r15631. The comment was written to explain why the default value is None and not ''. Granted, it's not very clear.
