Djangoids:

Consider this pattern:

    product.brand = brand
    product.in_stock = True
    product.save()

Because business-layer code does that all the time, can we DRY the
code up a little?

def up(model, **kw):
    for key, value in kw.iteritems():
        model.__dict__[key] = value

    model.save()

That provides this:

   up(product, brand=brand, in_stock=True)

It indeed looks kewt, but it does not always work. If, for
example, .brand is a model object, then it ain't in the __dict__.

So is there some more clever way to do this? (or does Django already
have it?) hopefully some way that bypasses "eval()", and other tawdry
assaults on an object's private data?
