Entity has an event Lifecycle, how does Django do it?

[Glyn Jackson]

In other languages and frameworks I have used when you have an entity such as user. Each entity has an event lifecycle i.e. post update, pre update, post save etc

The following code below is my first save using Django. But its looks very messy, it should be than user has a pre create for member and member has a pre create for user depending on which way you are coming at it
In Django is this possible?     


in my views.py


 user = User.objects.create_user(
                                            username=form.cleaned_data.get()['username'],
                                            email=form.cleaned_data['email'],
                                            password=form.cleaned_data['password']
                                            )
user.save()
member = Member(
                            user=user,
                            name=form.cleaned_data['name']
                            )
member.save()

Hi Glyn,

What you're calling "events", Django calls "signals" [1]. In particular, I'm guessing you're looking for the pre_save and post_save signals.
