This is the first google entry for your error message:

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/8662

It looks like the docs were wrong, but they have been fixed.

Thanks Joel,
This makes sense to me.Still I could not resolve this.
Still on updating my save method, 
Like this
     super(model, self).save(force_insert=True)
giving an error. 

User.objects.get(id = userid) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/db/models/manager.py", line 132, in get return self.get_query_set().get(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/db/models/query.py", line 342, in get num = len(clone) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/db/models/query.py", line 80, in __len__ self._result_cache = list(self.iterator()) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/db/models/query.py", line 271, in iterator for row in compiler.results_iter(): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/db/models/sql/compiler.py", line 677, in results_iter for rows in self.execute_sql(MULTI): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/db/models/sql/compiler.py", line 732, in execute_sql cursor.execute(sql, params) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/db/backends/util.py", line 15, in execute return self.cursor.execute(sql, params) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/db/backends/postgresql_psycopg2/base.py", line 44, in execute return self.cursor.execute(query, args) DatabaseError: current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block

To address the original question, I saw a similar error when overriding the save() function of a model.  The solution was to include *args and **kwargs in the function definition:

    def save(self,*args, **kwargs):

        # your custom code here #

        super(MyModel, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

Dan,
Thanks, This worked well for me.
I had missed to pass arguments to my save method.
i.e. I had like this
     def save(self,):
          args = ()
          kwargs['force_insert'] = True,
          kwargs['force_insert'] = False
          super(MyModel, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
Anyways.
I'm not so expert in python.
Thanks guys again
