django-singleactiveobject

Model mixin that ensures there is only one active model instance in your database.

What is this app good for?

This might come in handy if you store some sort of configuration in your database but want to be sure there is only one active entry at a time.

How it works

Upon save() this will check if the current object is active=True and will set any other active object to active=False ensuring there is only one active.
