How can I implement custom user manager in django?

I create custom User model inheriting from AbstractUser in Django:

class ChachaUser(AbstractUser):
    birth = models.DateField()
    gender = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=GENDER_CHOICES)

and my CustomUserCreationForm :

GENDER_CHOICES = (
    ('M', '남'),
    ('F', '여'),
)


class MyUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):

    birth = forms.DateField(
        widget=forms.SelectDateWidget(
            years=range(1970, 2015)
        ),
        required=True,
    )
    gender = forms.ChoiceField(choices=GENDER_CHOICES, initial='M')

    class Meta(UserCreationForm.Meta):
        model = ChachaUser
        fields = UserCreationForm.Meta.fields + ('birth', 'gender')

But I want to create a superuser using python manage.py createsuperuser, I have to implement CustomUserManager, too.

Any idea or example, please?

You should implement a class that inherits from BaseUserManager. You must implement methods .create_user and .create_superuser. I strongly suggest you to put this class in a file managers.py in the same app as your custom ChachaUser model.

from django.contrib.auth.base_user import BaseUserManager


class UserManager(BaseUserManager):

    def create_user(self, email, password, **extra_fields):
        if not email:
            raise ValueError('Email for user must be set.')
        email = self.normalize_email(email)
        user = self.model(email=email, **extra_fields)
        user.set_password(password)
        user.save()
        return user

    def create_superuser(self, email, password, **extra_fields):
        extra_fields.setdefault('is_staff', True)
        extra_fields.setdefault('is_superuser', True)

        if extra_fields.get('is_staff') is not True:
            raise ValueError('Superuser must have is_staff=True.')
        if extra_fields.get('is_superuser') is not True:
            raise ValueError('Superuser must have is_superuser=True.')
        return self.create_user(email, password, **extra_fields)

For a complete guidance on creating a custom user model using either AbstractUser or AbstractBaseUser see this tutorial.

Or this way:

class CustomUser(User):
    objects = MyManager()
    class Meta(object):
        proxy=True

You're interested in UserManager (code).

Example:

from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser, UserManager

class CustomUserManager(UserManager):
    # your methods

class CustomUser(AbstractUser):
    # fields

    objects = CustomUserManager()
