能否不触发signal直接显式调用receiver函数？

Question 1: Can I call a receiver function without using a signal? #

Absolutely! A signal receiver is just a regular Python function that’s been registered to listen for a specific signal via the @receiver decorator. There’s no restriction forcing you to only trigger it through signal events. You can invoke it directly like any other function, as long as you pass all the required parameters it expects.

Question 2: Can I explicitly call my add_transaction receiver without relying on the paid signal? #

Definitely! Let’s look at your function definition again:

@receiver(paid)
def add_transaction(sender, payment_uid, **kwargs):
    # do some stuff

The @receiver(paid) decorator only registers this function to run when the paid signal is dispatched—it doesn’t alter the function’s core logic or parameter requirements.

To call it directly, simply pass the necessary arguments that the function would normally receive from the signal:

# Basic call with required parameters
add_transaction(sender=your_sender_instance, payment_uid="valid_payment_uid")

# If your function uses extra keyword arguments from kwargs, pass them too
add_transaction(sender=your_sender_instance, payment_uid="valid_payment_uid", extra_detail="some_info")

Just ensure the sender value matches what the function expects (usually a model instance if this is a Django signal) and payment_uid is a valid value for your use case.
