To access a db object, there is a get() method and a get_or_create()
method. I often need to test for an object or get it without failing
if it doesn't exist. Of course I could do something like
exists = Foo.objects.filter(id=id).count() == 1
or
try:
foo = Foo.objects.get(id=id)
...
except: Foo.DoesNotExist:
foo = None
...
or
for foo in Foo.objects.filter(id=id)[:1]: ...
but I wonder whether it might be useful to add a method get_or_none()
and another exists() method to the objects object. What do you think?
