This is the simple and small code i am using for generating unique slug, you only need one field to create your unique slug field

from random import randint

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
    if Post.objects.filter(title=self.title).exists():
        extra = str(randint(1, 10000))
        self.slug = slugify(self.title) + "-" + extra
    else:
        self.slug = slugify(self.title)
    super(Post, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

I hope you like this.
