Fixtures are serialized. Python code that populates the database is not a fixture.
If you want to populate the database with python code after the it has been created, I suggest you attach your creation function to the
post_syncdbsignal. Note that the signal is sent per application.In your callback function, you can check the
created_signalsparameter, to see which models were created, and check whether you need to create the objects.As a reference, have a look at the contrib apps that use the
post_syncdbsignal, for exampledjango.contrib.sites.manage, which creates the default site instance only once.
