If you're on Django 0.96 or a checkout of the development code,
there's special-case handling in the admin for creating users such
that the password will be properly set, as well as a special-case
editing view for changing passwords through the admin.
For manually creating users from Python code, the Django User model
has a manager with a special method -- create_user() -- which will
handle this for you, so doing:
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
u = User.objects.create_user('bob', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'some_password')
will work.
For manually editing users from Python code, the User model defines a
method called 'set_password()' which also handles this for you:
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
u = User.objects.get(username='bob')
u.set_password('some_new_password')
u.save()
For bulk imports, you can currently rely on some backwards-compatible
hackery we do to support storing passwords as plain old MD5 hashes, by
which Django will transparently "upgrade" the stored password to a
(more secure) salted SHA1 hash the next time the user successfully
logs in.
