django temporarily disable signals

Question

I have a signal callback in django:

@receiver(post_save, sender=MediumCategory)
def update_category_descendants(sender, **kwargs):
    
    def children_for(categ         


        

Answer 1

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I think that category.save() is not needed in your code, add() is enough because change is made in descendant but in category.

Also, to avoid signals you can:

• Disconnect signal and reconnect.
• Use update: Descendant.objects.filter( pk = descendant.pk ).update( category = category )
