Hola, I'm having trouble getting a subclass to trigger an isinstance(). Code below:
model.py excerpt: ------------ from django.db import models from django.forms import ModelForm class Author(models.Model): first = models.CharField(u'First Name', max_length=20) other = models.CharField(u'Other Names', max_length=20, blank=True) last = models.CharField(u'Last Name', max_length=20) class Meta: ordering = ['last'] def __unicode__(self): return u'%s %s' % (self.first, self.last) def get_absolute_url(self): return "/author/%i" % self.str() class Translator(Author): language = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=LANGUAGES) class Meta: verbose_name = 'Translator' verbose_name_plural = 'Translators' ------------ views.py excerpt: ------------ from django.shortcuts import render_to_response, get_object_or_404 from booktrans.books.models import * from django.template import RequestContext from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect def index(request): all_authors = Author.objects.all() all_origAuthors = [] all_translators = [] for author in all_authors: if isinstance(author, Translator): all_translators.append(author) else: all_origAuthors.append(author) return render_to_response('books/index.html',locals()) ------------ And from the shell: >>> from booktrans.books.models import * >>> t = Translator.objects.all() >>> t [<Translator: qwerqwad asdasd>, <Translator: Yoko Miyagi>] >>> t = Translator.objects.get(pk=2) >>> t <Translator: Yoko Miyagi> >>> isinstance(t, Translator) True >>> a = Author.objects.get(pk=1) >>> isinstance(a, Translator) False Any tips? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
