hi everyone,

first of all: I'm totally new to django. I did the tutorial and now I
want to go beyond what I've learnt there ... and write a simple app to
manage all my projects in some kind of a archive.
whenever I create a new project via the admin view, a directory with
the name of the project is created in the file system. but in case the
projects gets renamed I also want the directory to be renamed.
how can I compare the old and new value of a field?

in admin.py:

class ProjectAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
        def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change):
                if not change: # new project
                        os.mkdir("some/absolute/path/" + obj.name_short) # (how 
would I use
MEDIA_ROOT here?)
                else:
                        # rename dir from old to new obj.name_short
                        # but how do I know what value obj.name_short had 
before?
                        pass

                obj.save()


thanks a lot in advance!
