works - here is the code:
def tweetit(sender,**kwargs):
"""
extract relevant info and tweet it
"""
if kwargs['created']:
t = twitter.Api(settings.TWITTER_USER, settings.TWITTER_PASSWORD)
t.PostUpdate("%s has registered as a delegate"
%(kwargs['instance'].username))
post_save.connect(tweetit, sender=Delegate)
