Comment (by Simon Charette): Hello Andy, There's many occurrences of access to `instance._meta` through Django's code base where it's assumed to return the same value as `instance.__class__._meta`. In order to prevent breakages I think it should be fixed in the library you use to expose `_meta` API compliant objects. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/27524#comment:3> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
