Data not flushed at the moment

[MindClass]

Here it's very well explained:
http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/7bcb01ec38e7e6cd

syncdb() method:
http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/core/management.py#L435

But I'm not sure if is a django problem or from python.
