In the file subclassing.py, should the following:
def make_contrib(superclass, func=None): """ Returns a suitable contribute_to_class() method for the Field subclass. If 'func' is passed in, it is the existing contribute_to_class() method on the subclass and it is called before anything else. It is assumed in this case that the existing contribute_to_class() calls all the necessary superclass methods. """ def contribute_to_class(self, cls, name): if func: func(self, cls, name) else: super(superclass, self).contribute_to_class(cls, name) setattr(cls, self.name, Creator(self)) return contribute_to_class instead be: def make_contrib(superclass, func=None): """ Returns a suitable contribute_to_class() method for the Field subclass. If 'func' is passed in, it is the existing contribute_to_class() method on the subclass and it is called before anything else. It is assumed in this case that the existing contribute_to_class() calls all the necessary superclass methods. """ def contribute_to_class(self, cls, name): if func: func(self, cls, name) else: super(superclass, self).contribute_to_class(cls, name) setattr(cls, self.name, Creator(self)) return contribute_to_class Should the setattr() should be called only when there isn’t a contribute_to_class() method. I ask because in my own custom field, I have a contribute_to_class() function as well: def contribute_to_class(self, cls, name): super(myCustomField, self).contribute_to_class(cls, name) setattr(cls, self.name, myCustomCreator(self)) But, because of the setattr() in the SubfieldBase metaclass, my own setattr() gets overwritten by the default set_attr().. I therefore can’t have my own field of the same name with my own custom Creator(). Is this expected behavior? -bobby -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
