How do I create a proper user with django allauth?

Question

• If I've an emailadress only
• If I don't care about a password atm (user will login through a "token link" later)

In pure Django I would just do it like:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
user = User.objects.create_user(username=email, email=email)

But django allauth comes with this EmailAdress stuff. Do I just have to create one of these too and then I'm fine?

from allauth.account.models import EmailAddress
EmailAddress.objects.create(user=user, email=email, primary=True, verified=False)

I don't want to break some django allauth logic and the existing adapter methods doesn't suit my needs.

EDIT: replaced setup_user_email with EmailAddress

EDIT2: replaced add_email with create, want to set primary=True

The canonical way to create a user seems to be stuck in the SignupForm.save() method:

Edit: It's actually one level higher in the SignupView, which first calls the SignupForm.save() and then calls account.utils.complete_signup(), which sends the user_signed_up signal:
