在我的解决方案是覆盖目标字段类的pre_save()方法之前，我有这种情况，它只在字段被更改时才会被调用 FileField有用 例子:

class PDFField(FileField):
    def pre_save(self, model_instance, add):
        # do some operations on your file 
        # if and only if you have changed the filefield

劣势: 如果你想做任何(post_save)操作，比如在某些作业中使用创建的对象(如果某些字段已更改)，则无用

最佳的解决方案可能是在保存模型实例之前不包括额外的数据库读取操作，也不包括任何进一步的django库。这就是为什么拉弗斯特的解决方案更可取。在管理站点的上下文中，可以简单地覆盖save_model-方法，并调用表单的has_changed方法，就像上面Sion的回答一样。你得到了类似这样的东西，利用Sion的例子设置，但使用changed_data来获得每一个可能的变化:

class ModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
   fields=['name','mode']
   def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change):
     form.changed_data #output could be ['name']
     #do somethin the changed name value...
     #call the super method
     super(self,ModelAdmin).save_model(request, obj, form, change)

覆盖save_model:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.save_model

为字段内置changed_data-method:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/forms/api/#django.forms.Form.changed_data

你可以使用django-model-changes来做到这一点，而不需要额外的数据库查询:

from django.dispatch import receiver
from django_model_changes import ChangesMixin

class Alias(ChangesMixin, MyBaseModel):
   # your model

@receiver(pre_save, sender=Alias)
def do_something_if_changed(sender, instance, **kwargs):
    if 'remote_image' in instance.changes():
        # do something

我扩展了@livskiy的mixin，如下所示:

class ModelDiffMixin(models.Model):
    """
    A model mixin that tracks model fields' values and provide some useful api
    to know what fields have been changed.
    """
    _dict = DictField(editable=False)
    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.
        """
        object_dict = model_to_dict(self,
               fields=[field.name for field in self._meta.fields])
        for field in object_dict:
            # for FileFields
            if issubclass(object_dict[field].__class__, FieldFile):
                try:
                    object_dict[field] = object_dict[field].path
                except :
                    object_dict[field] = object_dict[field].name

            # TODO: add other non-serializable field types
        self._dict = object_dict
        super(ModelDiffMixin, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

    class Meta:
        abstract = True

DictField为:

class DictField(models.TextField):
    __metaclass__ = models.SubfieldBase
    description = "Stores a python dict"

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(DictField, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    def to_python(self, value):
        if not value:
            value = {}

        if isinstance(value, dict):
            return value

        return json.loads(value)

    def get_prep_value(self, value):
        if value is None:
            return value
        return json.dumps(value)

    def value_to_string(self, obj):
        value = self._get_val_from_obj(obj)
        return self.get_db_prep_value(value)

可以通过在模型中扩展它来使用它 一个_dict字段将在同步/迁移时添加，该字段将存储对象的状态

另一个迟来的答案，但如果你只是想看看一个新文件是否已经上传到一个文件字段，试试这个:(改编自Christopher Adams对链接http://zmsmith.com/2010/05/django-check-if-a-field-has-changed/的评论在zach的评论这里)

更新链接:https://web.archive.org/web/20130101010327/http://zmsmith.com:80/2010/05/django-check-if-a-field-has-changed/

def save(self, *args, **kw):
    from django.core.files.uploadedfile import UploadedFile
    if hasattr(self.image, 'file') and isinstance(self.image.file, UploadedFile) :
        # Handle FileFields as special cases, because the uploaded filename could be
        # the same as the filename that's already there even though there may
        # be different file contents.

        # if a file was just uploaded, the storage model with be UploadedFile
        # Do new file stuff here
        pass

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。
