Writing a custom auth system (like the default django auth system), use it to generate tables in DB

Question

Hay all, I've been reading up on middleware and how to use it with a context object. I want to write a simple middleware class which i can use on my own applications, it will essentially be a cut down version of the django one.

The problem i seem to have is that if i have

INSTALLED_APPS = ('django.contrib.my_auth')

in the settings file, all is well. I've also added

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = ('django.contrib.my_auth.middleware.MyAuthMiddleware')

in it and everything is fine.

My question is, how would i make my middleware automatically generate tables from a models.py module, much like how the django auth does when i run manage.py syncdb?

thanks

Django auth middleware doesn't generate any tables. Django does it looking through INSTALLED_APPS when you run manage.py syncdb. Therefore all should already be fine.
