Custom User Profiles + Signals

Hi All,

I'm going through the help document (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/
1.2/topics/auth/#storing-additional-information-about-users) and I'm
starting to figure out how signals work. What I'm having problems
with is getting my signal to trigger (or at least figuring out if the
signal is actually triggering?)

So, if I do the following from the shell (as spawned by manage.py):
>>> import cc.models
>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
>>> u = User.objects.get(username__exact="duh3")
>>> try:
... u.userprofile
... except:
... profile = cc.models.UserProfile()
... profile.user = u
... profile.thing = "Test"
... profile.save()
...
<UserProfile: duh3>
>>> u.userprofile.user
<User: duh3>
>>> u.userprofile.thing
u'Test'

I can get the profile to work. So, then I add the following lines to
my "models.py" file:
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
...
def profile_handler(sender, **kwargs):
""" Signal handler to deal with a save on the User model """
try:
sender.userprofile
except:
profile = cc.models.UserProfile()
profile.user = sender
profile.save()

post_save.connect(profile_handler, sender=User)

But, what i can't tell is if anything is happening. If I create a new
user and then try userinstance.userprofile, I get the expected
exception.

Could someone please point me at my issue?

Thanks,
Jeremiah
