Not like this, no, but you seem to be hung up on trying to use field classes for everything. This is not necessary (and in this case would be a bad idea: you'd have duplicated data and you'd need to constantly watch out to prevent the fields getting out of sync with each other), because you can define perfectly normal Python attributes and methods on your models. Most likely you want to use a property with both a getter and a setter, as shown in the examples in the documentation: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/models/properties/ -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
