I did not notice you were trying to override in a wrong way, sorry
about that.
Actually for override the user model you need to:
class CustomUser(User):
#your new fields, DRY user fields
objects = MyCustomManager()
class MyCustomManager(models.Manager):
def create_mycustom_user(.................):
self.create(.......#user fields and your new custom
fields#........)
self.set_password('222')
self.save()
