Answer 1

Django-registration provides two signals, which are:

• user_registered : Sent when registration is complete
• user_activated : Sent when user has activated his account using the activation link

For your case, you need user_registered

from registration.signals import user_registered
def createUserProfile(sender, instance, **kwargs):
    user_profile = UserProfile.objects.create(user=instance)

user_registered.connect(createUserProfile)

You don't need to create any separate signals.py file. You can keep this code in models.py of any of your app. However, since its Profile creation code, you should keep it in profiles/models.py
