I think you need to be careful messing with __dict__ as Django turns
most fields in descriptors behind the scenes so setting them in the
__dict__ could break these.
Yeah, that was somewhat my assumption (and thus my caveat).
Well, you could do something like
for name, value in dictionary_of_field_values.items():
setattr(obj, name, value)
I'd stick to setattr and maybe verify that the key in the dictionary
is one of the model's fields. I think there is a method on _meta
called get_all_field_names. I've used this before to validate such
actions.
If that's the case, you can tweak the above to something like
for name in obj._meta.get_all_field_names():
if name in dict_of_field_values:
setattr(obj, name, dict_of_field_values[name])
