How do I prevent fixtures from conflicting with django post_save signal code?

Question

In my application, I want to create entries in certain tables when a new user signs up. For instance, I want to create a userprofile which will then reference their company

I think I figured out a way to do this. There is a 'raw' parameter in the kwargs passed in along with signals so I can replace my test above with this one:

if (kwargs.get('created', True) and not kwargs.get('raw', False)):

Raw is used when loaddata is running. This seems to do the trick.

It is mentioned here: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/13299

Would be nice if this was documented: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/ref/signals/#django.db.models.signals.post_save
