You can put the code anywhere you like, providing it will be executed. One thing to do might be to put an "import signal_hookups" in your settings.py file and put the dispatch connection in signal.hookups.py. Or put it in one of your model's files, if you are going to be using that model in the process of handling the signal. Basically, you just need to put the dispatch call somewhere it will be executed. The my_function_to_call() function can be anywhere you like; just make sure you import it wherever you set up the dispatch.
