Update still takes exactly one argument: self. I'm still not completely clear on what the OP is trying to do so I'll guess that for a given User object (id == 11) you want to adjust a set of attributes not known apriori, but available as key - value pairs from an itterator I'll call 'd.items()':
user = User.objects.get(id=11) for key, value in d.items(): setattr(user, key, value) user.save() On Thu, May 13, 2010 at 2:10 PM, zinckiwi <zinck...@gmail.com> wrote: >> What if field_name and value coming from loop? >> I have around 50 field and values in loop. >> Can I do this?
