+= How to run {{{manage.py syncdb}}} without being prompted to create a superuser =
+
+'''This applies only to post-magic-removal versions of Django.'''
+
+In my project I found it annoying being prompted to create a superuser everytime I ran {{{manage.py syncdb}}} or from my custom installation script {{{management.syncdb()}}}. Delving a little deeper I found that I could disable this by "disconnecting" {{{django.contrib.auth.mangement.create_superuser}}} from the new event dispatcher in Django.
+
+The following snippet does just that.
+
+{{{
+#!python
+from django.core import management
+from django.dispatch import dispatcher
+from django.contrib.auth.management import create_superuser
+from django.contrib.auth import models as auth_app
+from django.db.models import signals
+
+dispatcher.disconnect(create_superuser, sender=auth_app, signal=signals.post_syncdb)
+management.syncdb()
+}}}
+
+Now if I could only make {{{management.syncdb()}}} less verbose.
