How to load sql fixture in Django for User model?

Does anyone knows how to load initial data for auth.User using sql fixtures? For my models, I just got have a < modelname >.sql file in a folder named sql that syncdb does it's job beautifully. But I have no clue how to do it for the auth.User model. I've googled it, but with no success.

Thanks in advance,

Aldo

Thanks for your answers. I've found the solution that works for me, and for coincidence was one of Brian's suggestion. Here it is:

Firs I disconnected the signal that created the Super User after syncdb, for I have my super user in my auth_user fixture:

models.py:

from django.db.models import signals
from django.contrib.auth.management import create_superuser
from django.contrib.auth import models as auth_app


signals.post_syncdb.disconnect(
    create_superuser,
    sender=auth_app,
    dispatch_uid = "django.contrib.auth.management.create_superuser")

Then I created a signal to be called after syncdb:

< myproject >/< myapp >/management/__init__.py

"""
Loads fixtures for files in sql/<modelname>.sql
"""
from django.db.models import get_models, signals
from django.conf import settings 
import <myproject>.<myapp>.models as auth_app

def load_fixtures(app, **kwargs):
    import MySQLdb
    db=MySQLdb.connect(host=settings.DATABASE_HOST or "localhost", \
       user=settings.DATABASE_USER,
    passwd=settings.DATABASE_PASSWORD, port=int(settings.DATABASE_PORT or 3306))

    cursor = db.cursor()

    try:
        print "Loading fixtures to %s from file %s." % (settings.DATABASE_NAME, \
            settings.FIXTURES_FILE)
        f = open(settings.FIXTURES_FILE, 'r')
        cursor.execute("use %s;" % settings.DATABASE_NAME)
        for line in f:
            if line.startswith("INSERT"):
                try:
                    cursor.execute(line)
                except Exception, strerror:
                    print "Error on loading fixture:"
                    print "-- ", strerror
                    print "-- ", line

        print "Fixtures loaded"

    except AttributeError:
        print "FIXTURES_FILE not found in settings. Please set the FIXTURES_FILE in \
            your settings.py" 

    cursor.close()
    db.commit()
    db.close()

signals.post_syncdb.connect(load_fixtures, sender=auth_app, \
    dispatch_uid = "<myproject>.<myapp>.management.load_fixtures")

And in my settings.py I added FIXTURES_FILE with the path to my .sql file with the sql dump.

One thing that I still haven't found is how to fire this signal only after the tables are created, and not everytime syncdb is fired. A temporary work around for this is use INSERT IGNORE INTO in my sql command.

I know this solution is far from perfect, and critics/improvements/opinions are very welcome!
