Hi Malcom, > Please post a small example fragment demonstrating what you're trying to > do.
Here's the problem code: class Xeme(models.Model): """Grapheme, phoneme, morpheme, etc - any linguistic entity representable by a string.""" text = models.CharField(max_length=150, db_index=True) type = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(choices=XEME_TYPES) language = models.ForeignKey(Language, db_index=True) components = models.ManyToManyField('self', symmetrical = False, blank = True, related_name = 'component_of') class Meta: unique_together = ('text', 'type', 'language') def tokenize(self): """Break the text field into fragments which might match the text fields of other Xemes. Returns an iterator.""" return TokenizerFactory.create(self.language.name)(self.text) def update_components(self): """Find any xemes contained by this one (according to tokenize) and add references to them in the components field.""" q_objects = [models.Q(text=text) for text in self.tokenize()] if q_objects: components = Xeme.objects.filter(reduce(lambda x, y: x | y, q_objects)) self.components.add(*components) I've tried running the update_components method in Xeme.save (both before and after calling Model.save), using the post_save signal and using the Xeme's ModelAdmin.save_model() method, to no avail. I tried printing the contents of db.connection.queries within Xeme.save and saw the expected INSERT calls for update_components, but without the expected result appearing in the database. I also noticed that if I entered values for components myself in the admin interface, they would appear, but I couldn't see any reference to them in the SQL printed from Xeme.save(). That's how I got the idea it may be happening elsewhere. thanks for your help, David --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
