This avoids the frustrating step of having to set up a new admin user every time you re-initialize your database. Put this in any `models` module. In this example I use `common.models`. Adapted from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1466827/
Various list utilities.
Each installation of our Django site has slightly different settings -- namely, which database to use. Developers can provide a `local_settings.py` file which lets them override (or, just as usefully, extend) settings that are in `settings.py`. Subversion is told to ignore `local_settings.py`, so it's never checked in. If `local_settings.py` is missing, the site refuses to work. We include a `local_settings_example.py` file so that new developers can get started more quickly.
