30835	post_delete signal fires before objects are removed from database	hibiscuits	nobody	"This was brought up by someone else in https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/29319, but it doesn't look like it was fully understood.

In the delete() method at the bottom of db/models/deletion.py, the post_delete signal is sent ''inside'' the atomic transaction block.  This means that if the transaction subsequently fails for whatever reason, the post_delete signal has already been sent, but the object remains in the database.  A simple fix is to move that code outside of the transaction block, so that the deletion will have been transacted without error in order for the post_delete signal to be sent."
