2 function save() to one model

I need add 2 function save() to one model. How to do?

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
    self.slug = slugify(self.title)
    super(Property, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
    self.key = ''.join(random.choice(string.letters) for i in xrange(132))
    ..........
    return self

You can't. Even if they have two different signatures it is not possible to have two functions with the same name in Python (and in your case they hardly have a signature).

You can either do:

def save(self, which_save, *args, **kwargs):
    if(which_save == 1):
        do_something()
    elif(which_save == 2):
        do_something_else()
    else:
        raise ValueError

or two different names:

def save_a(self, *args, **kwargs):
    # some code

def save_b(self, *args, **kwargs):
    # some other code

or you can mix the two - have save, save_a and save_b.
