db.send_create_signal

db.send_create_signal(app_label, model_names)

Sends the post_syncdb signal for the given models model_names in the app app_label.

This signal is used by various bits of django internals - such as contenttypes - to hook new models into themselves, so you should really call it after the relevant db.create_table call. startmigration will add this automatically for you.

Note that the signals are not sent until the end of the whole migration sequence, so your handlers will not get called until all migrations are done. This is so that your handlers can deal with the most recent version of the model's schema, rather than the one in the migration where the signal is originally sent.

Examples

Sending a signal for the 'Profile' and 'Planet' models in my app 'core':

db.send_create_signal('core', ['Profile', 'Planet'])
