Make a Django model read-only?

Question

What it says on the tin. Is there a way to make a Django model read-only?

By this I mean a Django model in which once records have been created, they can\'t be edite

Answer 1

If you don't want an attempt to modify a record to fail silently:

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
    if self.pk:
        (raise an exception)
    super(YourModel, self).save(*args, **kwargs)


def delete(self, *args, **kwargs):
    (raise an exception)
