Thanks. Any idea why the following isn't working in my News class? The processing doesn't get to that exit call, even if it's a new item. def save(self, *args, **kwargs): if not hasattr(self,'id'): import sys sys.exit('must be a new item') super(News, self).save(*args, **kwargs) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
