Enabling signal control on a model signal

SignalControl can be added to a model signal via a provided decorator. In the signal.py file, import the signalcontrol decorator and add the signal_control decorator to the line directly above the signal definition. Example:

from signalcontrol.decorators import signal_control

@receiver(post_save, sender=MyCoolModel)
@signal_control
def msg_after_my_model_save(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
    """ some signal """
    print('you just saved an instance of MyCoolModel')
