How do I retrieve a model instance from the database without a model instance?
For example from the doc[1] it has: product = Product.objects.get(name='Venezuelan Beaver Cheese') I want something like getInstance( 'Product', 'Venezuelan Beaver Cheese' ) Here are the details of what I'm doing. I have multiple form models that are all handled by the same post processing class. I'm using django-celery to do the processing. I want to do something like this in my view: dbSave = form.save() processTask.delay('Product', dbSave.pk) Then in the task: class processTask(Task): def run(self, modelName, pk): instance = getInstance( modelName, pk ) …. >From what I've read about django-celery, I shouldn't pass class instances to the task so I need a way to pass/retrieve this info via basic datatypes.
