Creating User object with is_active = False

I posted the same question on stackoverflow if anyone wants to answer it there.

I am trying to create a builtin User object that has `is_active = False` but I am getting this error:

null value in column "is_active" violates not-null constraint

Traceback:

    Exception Type: IntegrityError at /auth/signup/

    Exception Value: null value in column "is_active" violates not-null constraint

    DETAIL:  Failing row contains (9, null, 52eed3a4-5232-4819-af74-d534ca6cc3a7, 12).

Code:

    def register(request):

        if request.method == "POST":

            registration_form = RegistrationForm(request.POST)

            if registration_form.is_valid():

                # create new user

                form_data = registration_form.cleaned_data

                print(form_data)

                first_name = form_data["first_name"]

                last_name = form_data["last_name"]

                username = form_data["username"]

                email = form_data["email"]

                password = form_data["password"]

                new_user = User.objects.create(username=username, first_name=first_name, last_name=last_name, email=email, password=password, is_active=False)

                unique_key = str(uuid.uuid4())

                beerad_user = BeeradUser(user=new_user, activation_key=unique_key)

                beerad_user.save()

I also tried creating the User object and then using this line of code:

new_user.is_active = False

But I get the error. Without adding the `is_active` property, creating a new User works but it sets the `is_active` field to be automatically True which isn't something I want.

Here is my BeeradUser model:

    class BeeradUser(models.Model):

        user = models.OneToOneField(User)

        activation_key = models.CharField(max_length=36)
