Running those commands in the shell does not execute the model-level validation you are expecting (checking for non-blank username and uniqueness in this case). You'll need to run that yourself when working directly with your user objects in the shell.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/models/instances/#validating-objects

The database integrity checks still apply though. If you try to create a second user with an empty username, you should receive an IntegrityError upon running user.save().
