Re: Django code patterns

I have a lot of signals going round, so I wan't to keep saves to a
minimum. But
nothing bad would happen if I always saved in this case. Thus the code
would
look:

resource.user.email = request.POST['email']
resource.user.is_active = request.POST['is_active']
resource.user.save()

But I meet the pattern I mentioned a lot in different shapes and
sizes, allow me to
try and describe it in words:

1) Check for a condition, and change a value if true.
2) Goto 1) several times.
3) If any of the conditions is met, perform an action.

I'm looking for a better pattern than the very procedural one Im used
to using.
