Django Clone

Overview

If you're working with Django and need to duplicate model instances, the django-clone package is a remarkable solution. It provides a robust implementation for creating copies of model objects with explicit control, allowing developers to define exactly what elements of the instance should be transferred. This functionality is especially beneficial in applications with complex data relationships, as it mitigates the risks of unwanted state duplication that can arise from conventional methods.

The package addresses common challenges faced when copying instances, particularly the pitfalls of setting primary keys to None indiscriminately. With django-clone, you not only gain a more targeted duplication approach but also retain full control over multi-database scenarios. It’s an indispensable tool for anyone aiming to enhance their Django application's flexibility and maintain data integrity.
