How to use django.contrib.auth with app-engine-django helper?

[n.derachits]

I tried the code from django documentation:

>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
>>> user = User.objects.create_user('john', 'len...@thebeatles.com', 'johnpassword')

and I got this error:
AttributeError: type object 'User' has no attribute 'create_user'

My questions are:
1. How to create a new user with given nickname and password?

2. Is it possible to authenticate google accounts only when app-engine-
django-helper is added to project?

At the moment the contrib.auth code emulation provided by the helper requires you to use the app engine users code, so you would have a user log in (as described in the app engine Getting Started guide) and then something like

from appengine_django.auth.models import User

from google.appengine.api import user

new_user = User.get_djangouser_for_user(user.get_current_user())

So how does one create new users? I am a new to django and GAE...

you'd be using the google user's api http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/gettingstarted/usingusers.html

if you're using that the contrib auth framework works pretty automatically
