Thank you, this was exactly the pointer i needed. If anyone in the
future encounters a similar problem, my solution was:
MyModel.add_to_class('foo', models.IntegerField())
Instead of:
setattr(MyModel, 'foo', models.IntegerField())
This doesn't seem to cause any problems (yet!).

In my book of python, this still count as magic ;-)
