用David Cramer的解决方案怎么样:

http://cramer.io/2010/12/06/tracking-changes-to-fields-in-django/

我曾经这样成功地使用过:

@track_data('name')
class Mode(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=5)
    mode = models.CharField(max_length=5)

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        if self.has_changed('name'):
            print 'name changed'

    # OR #

    @classmethod
    def post_save(cls, sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
        if instance.has_changed('name'):
            print "Hooray!"

虽然这实际上并没有回答你的问题，但我会以不同的方式来讨论这个问题。

成功保存本地副本后，只需清除remote_image字段。然后在保存方法中，只要remote_image不为空，就可以随时更新图像。

如果您想保留对url的引用，您可以使用一个不可编辑的布尔字段来处理缓存标志，而不是使用remote_image字段本身。

作为SmileyChris回答的扩展，您可以为last_updated的模型添加一个datetime字段，并在检查更改之前为您将让它达到的最大年龄设置某种限制

如果您对重写save方法不感兴趣，可以这样做

  model_fields = [f.name for f in YourModel._meta.get_fields()]
  valid_data = {
        key: new_data[key]
        for key in model_fields
        if key in new_data.keys()
  }

  for (key, value) in valid_data.items():
        if getattr(instance, key) != value:
           print ('Data has changed')

        setattr(instance, key, value)

 instance.save()

我使用以下mixin:

from django.forms.models import model_to_dict


class ModelDiffMixin(object):
    """
    A model mixin that tracks model fields' values and provide some useful api
    to know what fields have been changed.
    """

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(ModelDiffMixin, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.__initial = self._dict

    @property
    def diff(self):
        d1 = self.__initial
        d2 = self._dict
        diffs = [(k, (v, d2[k])) for k, v in d1.items() if v != d2[k]]
        return dict(diffs)

    @property
    def has_changed(self):
        return bool(self.diff)

    @property
    def changed_fields(self):
        return self.diff.keys()

    def get_field_diff(self, field_name):
        """
        Returns a diff for field if it's changed and None otherwise.
        """
        return self.diff.get(field_name, None)

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        """
        Saves model and set initial state.
        """
        super(ModelDiffMixin, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
        self.__initial = self._dict

    @property
    def _dict(self):
        return model_to_dict(self, fields=[field.name for field in
                             self._meta.fields])

用法:

>>> p = Place()
>>> p.has_changed
False
>>> p.changed_fields
[]
>>> p.rank = 42
>>> p.has_changed
True
>>> p.changed_fields
['rank']
>>> p.diff
{'rank': (0, 42)}
>>> p.categories = [1, 3, 5]
>>> p.diff
{'categories': (None, [1, 3, 5]), 'rank': (0, 42)}
>>> p.get_field_diff('categories')
(None, [1, 3, 5])
>>> p.get_field_diff('rank')
(0, 42)
>>>

Note

请注意，此解决方案仅在当前请求的上下文中工作良好。因此，它主要适用于简单的情况。在并发环境中，多个请求可以同时操作同一个模型实例，您肯定需要一种不同的方法。

有时我想检查多个共享这些字段的模型上相同特定字段的更改，因此我定义了这些字段的列表并使用一个信号。在这种情况下，只有当某些东西发生了变化，或者条目是新的时，地理编码才会寻址:

from django.db.models.signals import pre_save
from django.dispatch import receiver

@receiver(pre_save, sender=SomeUserProfileModel)
@receiver(pre_save, sender=SomePlaceModel)
@receiver(pre_save, sender=SomeOrganizationModel)
@receiver(pre_save, sender=SomeContactInfoModel)
def geocode_address(sender, instance, *args, **kwargs):

    input_fields = ['address_line', 'address_line_2', 'city', 'state', 'postal_code', 'country']

    try:
        orig = sender.objects.get(id=instance.id)
        if orig:
            changes = 0
            for field in input_fields:
                if not (getattr(instance, field)) == (getattr(orig, field)):
                    changes += 1
            if changes > 0:
                # do something here because at least one field changed...
                my_geocoder_function(instance)
    except:
        # do something here because there is no original, or pass.
        my_geocoder_function(instance)

只编写一次并使用“@receiver”附加当然胜过重写多个模型保存方法，但也许其他人有更好的想法。
