I can't seem to reason out why/how this works. I have a class Named Stuff
I can say Stuff.objects.filter(.....) and that will return valid set of data. What I can't understand is what exactly is objects, and why is it I can call it with Stuff.objects, but I can't call it with stuff.objects (an instance of Stuff). >>> dir(Stuff) shows me 'objects' >>> dir(stuff) shows me 'objects' >>> type(Stuff.objects) <class 'django.db.models.manager.Manager'> >>> type(stuff.objects) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "...manager.py", line 151, in __get__ AttributeError: Manager isn't accessible via Stuff instances What is the python Magic going on here to make this possible? I'm asking because I want to make something like 'objects' in that it doesn't need an instance, but it is scoped within the model of Stuff. My background is C++ and these look like methods/objects that are static to the class, not part of the instances. I just can't figure out how to declare and instantiate them in python. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
