I just do it like this
Backup the table ( ehem , i usually skip this )
Change the model
Run manage.py sql appname and see what fields are added.
Get the table name, column name and type
Then just run (postgresql, not much different in mysql i guess):
alter table appname_modelname add column
Tom,
Many of us are in the same boat. I wish that functionality was
allready in Django, but for the moment it's in que. Here is a link to
the Wiki entry talking about it:

The SOC project has produced some code, but it needs some more
Please do a search for 'schema-evolution' on the dev list. It's been
discussed ad nauseum and there was a project with Google's SoC to
address the issue. The code, as far as i know, is complete and
waiting in a seperate branch for testing before being merged into the
main trunk.
