You can't do this -- validator functions take just field_data and
all_data. In fact, an instance might not even exist when the validator
is called -- when creating a new instance, for example.
However, you can override the 'validate' method on a model, and you
might be able to use that to do what you want (you will probably want a
validate method that looks like this:
class Category(models.Model):
## fields etc here
def validate(self):
error_dict = super(Category, self).validate()
# Do your validation here, adding to 'error_dict'
# and then:
return error_dict
