calling self.clean() before super.save()

[Mike Dewhirst]

Is it sensible to generally call self.clean() in a model's save() method prior to calling super().save()

Thanks for any advice.

Cheers

Mike

Until now I have been calling clean() deliberately prior to calling save() but I have a lot of models where save() pre-processes data just prior to calling the model's super().save(*args, **kwargs) I feel as though it would more robust to pre-process the data, then call self.clean() and finally make the super call.
