For what it's worth, I use the get_or_create with the 'default' keyword to do this:
for record in reader: new_values = { 'product_code': slugify(record['Product Code']), 'msrp': record['Suggested Retail'], #etc... } product, was_created = Product.objects.get_or_create(source_id = record['Source ID'], defaults = new_values) if not was_created: product.product_code = slugify(record['Product Code']) product.msrp = record['Suggested Retail'] #etc... product.save() I don't like the DRY violation, but a model instance doesn't have an update() method like a queryset for me to dump the kwargs into -- unless I'm missing something.
