Detect any changes made to Django models

I have found myself in a situation where for several models say X, Y and Z, I would like to know when any change happens on them i.e. any create, update, delete so that I can perform another action. I have scoured the internet but all I get is libs on instance audit history. Is there any way to accomplish this inbuilt in django or even a custom solution/lib would be highly appreciated.

My idea right now is to make these models emit a post_save signal and listen for this.

Model signals are already going to be sent without your having to tell them to be, just as a part of Django models. You can set up listeners to the signals that are already being sent.

pre_delete or post_delete will cover your deletion case; pre_save and post_save will handle your update/create. post_save sends a created argument, which is True if a new record was created and False otherwise.
