save() got an unexpected keyword argument 'force_insert' with django-rest-framework?

See original GitHub issue

It looks like there is a problem for me with django-rest-framework and django-ldapdb save() function.

In the save object force_insert=False is included, and things goes haywire 😃 This was a fugly fix for me, any ideas what goest wrong and what I can do to not hardcode base.py?

models/base.py
65c65
<     def save(self, using=None):

---
>     def save(self, using=None, *args, **kvargs):

This is the installed packages…

pip freeze

Django==1.9.9
django-ldapdb==0.6.0
djangorestframework==3.4.6
pkg-resources==0.0.0
pyldap==2.4.25.1

Indeed, the ldapdb.models.Model.save() signature is incorrect.

Thanks for the report!
