Reload django object from database

by

Is it possible to refresh the state of a django object from database? I mean behavior roughly equivalent to:

new_self = self.__class__.objects.get(pk=self.pk)
for each field of the record:
    setattr(self, field, getattr(new_self, field))

UPDATE: Found a reopen/wontfix war in the tracker: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/901.
Still don’t understand why the maintainers don’t like this.
