I need help on the topic: Proxy for User model referenced as AUTH_USER_MODEL.
As stated in the doc, needing to add some methods to User model, I tried to make a 'proxy' model.
I made a 'from scratch app', with only a MyUser(User) model, and AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'myapp.MyUser' in settings.py
MyUser has only 'class Meta: proxy = True'
On a ./manage.py shell (for example), I have the following traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Anybody already tried to use proxy on User model?
