I'm running Django and trying to create a superuser but I keep getting the following error whenever I try execute a passwd or createsuperuser command. I am using Django 1.3 on a PostgreSQL database.
$ python manage.py createsuperuser
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "manage.py", line 19, in <module>

If I try passwd I get the useless stacktrace:

Here is my virtualenv.
$ pip freeze
Django==1.3

mimeparse==0.1.3
Any ideas? Thanks!
python manage.py createsuperuseror like thispython manage.py createsuperuser --username admin. And assuming you have enableddjango.contrib.auth.manage.py createsuperuser, the command prompts me for username and password but fails to set them.
