That' wrong.

Documentation says:

create_user(username, email=None, password=None)

Creates, saves and returns a User.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/auth/#django.contrib.auth.models.UserManager.create_user

I think the problem is that 'user.password' is hashed value but
login() method receives raw plain text password, as I answered above.
