Adding new custom permissions in Django

Question

I am using custom permissions in my Django models like this:

class T21Turma(models.Model):
    class Meta:
        permissions = ((\"can_view_boletim\", \"Can vi

If you want "manage.py migrate" to do everything (without calling syncdb --all). You need to create new permissions with a migration:

user@host> manage.py datamigration myapp add_perm_foo --freeze=contenttypes --freeze=auth

Edit the created file:

class Migration(DataMigration):

    def forwards(self, orm):
        "Write your forwards methods here."
        ct, created = orm['contenttypes.ContentType'].objects.get_or_create(
            model='mymodel', app_label='myapp') # model must be lowercase!
        perm, created = orm['auth.permission'].objects.get_or_create(
            content_type=ct, codename='mymodel_foo', defaults=dict(name=u'Verbose Name'))
