Yup. Using model.Manager i.e.: class MyManager(models.Manager): def get_or_blank(self, pk_val): try: m = super(self.__class__, self).get_query_set().get (pk=pk_val) except self.model.DoesNotExist: m = self.model() return m then you'd need, in each model def: objects = MyManager() Now you can do: s = SomeModel.objects.get_or_blank(35) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
