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.
