I guess I'm failing to see what's broken here... Have you considered using the convenient raw-SQL hooks? http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model_api/#providing-initial-sql-data I'd suggest letting Django create the tables automatically, then you do any ALTER TABLE statements in the SQL file hooks. Also, there's no need to be homesick for "django-admin init", because "django-admin syncdb" does the same thing but better. Even so, if you need to install the Django contrib apps specifically, you can do "django-admin install admin", "django-admin install contenttypes", etc. Easy as pie.
