In the Django world (and the newspaper world), the canonical term for what you're looking for is 'slug' and Django even has a built-in slug model field [1].
If you're just using the built-in Admin, then it even has JavaScript that will create the slug based on another model field. However, if you need this functionality outside the Admin there are a few options open to you: The method defined in your model class that you were trying to recall is documented at the bottom of the Model API docs [2]. This is an excellent place to put this kind of functionality (you can even reuse Django's built-in slugify functionality [3][4] that the Admin uses). In fact, this is a fairly common use-case, you can browse how other people have tried to solve this same problem by looking over the slug tag on Django Snippets [5]. ..
