Django: how to bulk create users

One task that I receive most often is to create a list of users in the app. The common way I'm using is to use Jupyter Notebook to clean the user list first and turn them into a python list. Then I use python manage.py shell_plus to write the users into the app.

1. First, we need to import a hasher from django auth module: from django.contrib.auth.hashers import make_password

2. Secondly, input the user list and password that we want to create.

3. Lastly, we just need to use User object to bulk create our new users.

   User.objects.bulk_create([
    User(
        username=name,
        email=name,
        password=make_password(password),
        is_active=True,
    ) for name in user_list
   ])
   

   In the user list, we can also add password or other user information like Country or birthday. As a demo, we set the username the same as the email.
