I am in a situation where I want to create a model instance from
another object. For this reason, I am trying to override the Model
constructor so that it can take an object as an argument. However,
this does not seem to work properly, since after I save, I cannot
access the data with the object manager. Here is an example. Suppose
my models.py code is:
from django.db import models
class Person(models.Model):
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=40)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=40)
def __init__(self,datadict):
models.Model.__init__(self,
first_name = datadict['first_name'],
last_name = datadict['last_name'])
Then, this is what happens when I use this:
>>>from cddbase.models import Person
>>>data_dict = {'first_name': 'Rob', 'last_name': 'Smith'}
>>>person = Person(data_dict)
>>>person.save()
>>>Person.objects.all()
[]
So basically the Person.save() method is not working... However, the
Person class is created correctly. One thing that I noticed is that
the SQL seems to be wrong. It issues and UPDATE rather than an INSERT
command, even though the row in the table does not exist.
Any ideas what I can do?
Thanks, Argyris
