I also propose these two little helpers, one is ``refresh()`` and other is ``update()`` https://gist.github.com/3859962
``update()`` updates instance without calling ``save()`` and calling signals and returns updated instance (sometimes you want to update instance without involving save signals) This helpers are particularly useful in writing tests, may be makes sense including them not to ``djanog.db.models`` but to ``django.test`` or ``django.test.tools``. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
