Re: readable object
Hello,
After you mentioned this on #django, I went on hacking something as I
told you. I'm not sure what are the guidelines in this list for
posting code, so I'll just paste below, since dpaste can vanish
eventually. Please forgive me since this is my first post. Let me know
and it won't happen again ;-))
Check if this is sort of what you had in mind... Currently, it prints
on screen (I was using the shell) but you could of course easily
change that for whatever suits your needs. I haven't tested much, but
seems to work fine with ForeignKey() and ManyToManyField().

from django.newforms.models import model_to_dict
def model_to_human(model):
d = model_to_dict(model)
for (k, v) in d.items():
try:
# test for relation manager
value = unicode(eval('model.'+k+'.all()'))
except AttributeError:
# nope, not that!
# let's prettify the output Django-style
inst = str(eval('model.'+k+'.__class__'))
fullClass = inst.split(' ')[1][1:-2] # gets ""
splitted = fullClass.split('.')
value = str(eval('model.'+k))
if len(splitted) > 1:
# this is not a builtin type, so we can prettify it
className = splitted[-1] # gets last dotted part
value = '<'+ className +': '+ value +'>'
print str(k) +': '+ value
== end cutting here ==
Hope it helps,

Re: readable object
You might look into databrowse[1], which is available in the SVN version of Django. There are some screenshots[2] available as well, so you can like to see what it's like. -Gul [1] http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/databrowse/ [2] http://www.flickr.com/photos/ubernostrum/2010704987/in/set-72157603155401014/ On Dec 12, 2007 2:13 PM, Milan Andric <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is there an easy way to print an object in html?

Anything like that exist already?
