Oh, so I'm actually able to get the old value of the field after all:

def save(self, force_insert=False, force_update=False):
    if self.id:
        # this is an update rather than a new instance
        old = Foo.objects.get(pk=self.id)

        old_field =  old.field_that_i_want
        new_field = self.field_that_i_want

        # Do something with old_field and new_field

    super(Foo, self).save(force_insert, force_update)

Thanks. :)

Would this also work in pre_save or post_save signals, or only in the
model's save method?
