Why should an author instance ever return True for isinsnace(author_instance, Translator). That's not really the way Python or Django are designed to work.
Why not just check to see if the author instance has an associated translator instance? That's the proper way. See the docs on multi- table inheritance. http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/models/#id7 >>> a = Author.objects.get(pk=1) >>> isinstance(a.translator, Translator) True -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
