Comment (by yoongkang):

 Yep. I have a pull request on GitHub, but basically the method should take
 a dictionary where the keys are the names of the field, and the values are
 the updated field values.

 This code snippet should do the trick:

 {{{
 def assign_attributes(self, values_dict):
     keys = values_dict.keys()
     fields = [f.name for f in self._meta.get_fields()]
     for k in keys:
         if k in fields:
             setattr(self, k, values_dict[k])

 }}}

 There is a similar method in Rails which I'm used to using:
