Putting content_type on a different class for a generic relation?

I've got two models. Here's what I'm trying to do: class InterestSet(models.Model, MailChimpAPIMixin): name = models.CharField(help_text="The interest grouping to add. Grouping names must be unique.", max_length=128, unique=True) content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType, blank=True, nu

Does loaddata in fact save objects to DB with a raw save? Or is this a bug?

I was just now researching some options for how to manage the way certain post_save/pre_save signals can interfere with fixture loading during tests, when I happened upon this ticket: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/12610 Which says: "There is already a hook to check for this - data saved d

Re: How to know which fields a model contains?

Issue with serializing a queryset that includes a custom SQL field defined by extra()

I think this might be a bug in source code, but before I report a ticket I thought I would ask just to ensure it's not me doing something wrong/stupid. In brief, I have a (MySQL) database table containing latitude and longitude columns. I am finding records from this table and sorting them based
