If your custom manipulator is for creating a new instance of the model, just have save() create on and return it.
When I am writing a custom change manipulator, I either pass the instance being changed to the __init__ method and save it as self.model_name or pass it to the save() method and use it instead of creating a new one, depending on the situation. I don't know if that's the standard solution, but it seems to work. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
