I also have a site that assumes each user has a profile (otherwise
bad).
I use django-registration, which sends out a couple signals. I hook
into one of those signals to create a user's profile when they
activate their account, like this:
# signal_receivers.py
from registration.signals import user_activated
from .models import UserProfile
def create_profile(sender, **kwargs):
UserProfile(user=kwargs['user']).save()
user_activated.connect(create_profile)
You could perhaps hook into user_registered instead, if errors pop up
between the time that a user registers and activates, but I haven't
had that problem since users are created as inactive by django-
registration until the user activates her account. This keeps your
database clean of UserProfile objects for users who never activate
their accounts.
Cheers,
