Description 

Updating objects
================

The ``create(**kwargs)`` method is a convenience method for updating and
saving an object all in one step.  If we were to get an object::

    p = Person.objects.get(pk=1)

Then, we could update the person's first and last name like so::

    p.update(first_name="Bruce", last_name="Springsteen")

Note that this would be equivalent to the following::

    p.first_name = "Bruce"
    p.last_name = "Springsteen"
    p.save()

The idea came from this discussion:

Actually, the "Updating objects" section I added to the docs should probably be integrated into the "Saving changes to objects" section.
