This can be useful in a deploy script scenario where you want to run certain django operations after syncdb or migrate have completed. post_syncdb and post_migrate get triggered after every app and it’s difficult to check if a few apps have been synced already. In such cases you can just set your app run certain operations on recieving after_syncdb and then do thid in your deploy script:

$ python manage.py syncdb
$ python manage.py after_syncdb
