I'm working my way through the tutorial (using sqlite3 for database). I
got tripped up the first time I tried syncing the database:
% python manage.py syncdb
Creating tables ...
Creating table auth_permission
Creating table auth_group_permissions
Creating table auth_group
Creating table auth_user_user_permissions
Creating table auth_user_groups
Creating table auth_user
Creating table django_content_type
Creating table django_session
Creating table django_site
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): yes

I'm on a Mac, which has minimally broken locale support. I went back to
settings.py and set USE_L10N to False. After that, the syncdb command
worked, but I don't have a superuser. This is giving me problems in the
early part of the second section of the tutorial. How do I create that
superuser I tried to the first time I sync'd?
Thanks,
Skip Montanaro
