I'm still learning python, so have to ask about how this would be done. Something like the following?
try: self.id except NameError: # run this code if it is a new item else: # run this code if this is a previously saved item More generally, what do you think of this statement: "If there are any cases where you don't absolutely know if a variable is defined, you have a broken design." That's at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1592565/determine-if-variable-is-defined-in-python/1592578#1592578 I've worked on many scripts where it wasn't possible to know if a variable is defined, so I'm surprised to see someone vehemently argue that this should never happen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
