Create media directory for each user upon user registration

Hey all,

I've been trying to figure out how to create a directory in my media directory for each user upon user registration.  I have found a lot of resources on how to upload files to a directory but just about none on simply how to create the directory.  I would like to be able to have my webapp create xml files for each user and then place them in the user's own directory.  The second part I am fine with.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about adding a directory attribute to a UserProfile model?  I can't seem to get anything to work.

Here's some code.  Note that it does not have any directory information applied to the code (other than that little line in models.py) because I really have no idea how to go about this.

models.py

class UserProfile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User)
    directory = # something here to have an established user directory

views.py

def register(request):
    # A boolean value for telling the template whether registration was successful.
    # Initially set to False.  Code changes to True when registration succeeds.
    registered = False

   
    if request.method == 'POST':
        user_form = UserForm(data=request.POST)
        profile_form = UserProfileForm(data=request.POST)
               
        if user_form.is_valid() and profile_form.is_valid():
            user = user_form.save()
            user.set_password(user.password)
            user.save()
            profile = profile_form.save(commit=False)
            profile.user = user
            profile.save()            
            registered = True
            username = request.POST['username']
            password = request.POST['password']
            user = authenticate(request, username=username, password=password)
            if user is not None:
                login(request, user)
                return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('elsa:index'))
            else:
                return HttpResponse("Error in login after registration.")                
        else:
            # Invalid form or forms - mistakes made
            print(user_form.errors, profile_form.errors)
    else:
        # Not an HTTP POST, so we render our form using two ModelForm instances.
        # These forms will be blank and ready for user input.
        user_form = UserForm()
        profile_form = UserProfileForm()

    # Render the template depending on the context.
    return render(request, 'elsa/register.html', {'user_form': user_form,    
                                                  'profile_form': profile_form,
                                                  'registered': registered})

forms.py

class UserForm(forms.ModelForm):
    password = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput())
    #data_relation = forms.(max_length=8, default='provider', help_text='Choose provider or reviewer')
 
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ( 'username', 'email', 'password') #, 'data_relation')



class UserProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):

    class Meta:
        model = UserProfile
        exclude = ('directory', )  # see note on models.py
