The post_syncdb (Django pre-1.7) and post_migrate (>=1.7 and South) signals are fired for every single app. What I really wanted was one signal fired after the migration or syncdb completed. There's no official one, and all the snippets were doing horribly hacky things (and wouldn't work for South, anyway). This one will work for Django syncdb, and South migrate.

    models_module = kwargs['app']
    if isinstance(models_module, basestring):
        # post_syncdb returns the models module, but post_migrate an app label
        models_module = cache.get_app(models_module)

    last_models_module = cache.app_store.keyOrder[-1]
    if models_module != last_models_module:
        return

It did not work as is with django 1.8 (complained about 'app') I tried then another simpler mechanism which seems to be working. It checks for a certain app name so that it performs the code only once:

def post_post_migrate(sender=None, verbosity=0, **kwargs): if sender.name != 'myapps.administration': return

# Put your code here.

I printed all the names first and chose the last one in the list.
