troggle/save_carefully.py
substantialnoninfringinguser e565a6b73b [svn] Renaming troggle.expo to troggle.core. To do this, used:
perl -p -i -e "s/expo(?=[\s\.']+)/core/g" `find -name \*.py`

and then manually checked each change (had to remove a couple)

-if instance does not exist in DB: add instance to DB, return (new instance, True)
-if instance exists in DB and was modified using Troggle: do nothing, return (existing instance, False)
-if instance exists in DB and was not modified using Troggle: overwrite instance, return (instance, False)
The checking is accomplished using Django's get_or_create and the new_since_parsing boolean field
defined in core.models.TroggleModel.
