This is a Python thing, not limited to Django, and fully expected: Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Dec 26 2010, 22:31:48) [GCC 4.4.5] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> class MyClass(object): pass ... >>> c = MyClass() >>> c.doesnotexist = 42 Barring some particular situations (you may want to read up on __slots__), you can dynamically add any property you want to an object/class. Python is less forgiving if you *read* nonexistent properties: >>> print c.no_property_here Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: 'MyClass' object has no attribute 'no_property_here' -tkc -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
