Thanks Shawn. That URL's not working but I think I understand the gist. To attach it to this problem: Usually when I define a method on my model classes, they're accessible from views just attributes, almost as if they were fields. In this case though I'm accessing the model field or method not from a view but from admin.py and it's not working. It sounds like you're saying that the model method is not attaching to an instance like it usually does (which is why "self" doesn't work). But I'm no closer to figuring out how why it's different from model methods accessed from within views, or how I can fix it.
