Hi,
I've got an abstract base class like this:
class Base(models.Model):
class Meta:
abstract = True
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
print dir(self.Meta)
super(Base, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
and a child model class inheriting from it like this:
class Child(Base):
class Meta:
verbose_name_plural = "children"
When save() is called on an instance of Child, Base.save() prints the
attributes of Base.Meta instead of Child.Meta (as I may be wrongly
expecting). I have tried changing Child.Meta to extend from Base.Meta
with the same result.
So far, the workaround seems to be to use self._meta in Base.save()
instead of self.Meta, which allows me to access the attributes of
Child.Meta. I've noticed that the django-mptt project (on Google
Code) does this. Is this the correct way for a base class to access a
child class's Meta attributes?
