This is a ModelForms-based rewrite of the create_object and update_object generic views, with a few added features. The views now accept a "form_class" argument optionally in place of the "model" argument, so you can create and tweak your own ModelForm to pass in. They also accept a "pre_save" callback that can make any additional changes to the created or updated instance (based on request.user, for instance) before it is saved to the DB.
Usage: just save the code in a file anywhere on the PythonPath and use the create_object and update_object functions as views in your urls.py.
