You can tell whether or not it's a new object by checking to see if it
has an id. New objects don't get an id until they've been saved to the
database, so if it has one, you can tell it's an update.
def save(self):
if self.id:
# it's an update...
self.modified = datetime.datetime.now()
else:
# it's a new object
self.created = datetime.datetime.now()
super(Foo, self).save()
