 -------------------
 
 ``manage.py syncdb`` prompts you to create a superuser the first time you run
-it after adding ``'django.contrib.auth'`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS``. But if
-you need to create a superuser after that via the command line, you can use the
-``create_superuser.py`` utility. Just run this command::
+it after adding ``'django.contrib.auth'`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS``. If you need
+to create a superuser at a later date, you can use a command line utility.
+
+**New in Django development version.**::
+
+    manage.py createsuperuser --username=joe --email=joe@example.com
+
+You will be prompted for a password. Once entered, the user is created. If you
+leave off the ``--username`` or the ``--email`` option, It will prompt you for
+those values as well.
+
+If you're using an older release of Django, the old way of creating a superuser
+on the command line still works::
 
     python /path/to/django/contrib/auth/create_superuser.py
 
-Make sure to substitute ``/path/to/`` with the path to the Django codebase on
-your filesystem.
+Where ``/path/to`` is the path to the Django codebase on your filesystem. The
+``manage.py`` command is prefered since it'll figure out the correct path and
+environment for you.
