Well, this is embarrassing. I had actually read (err, skimmed?) that page looking for the answer, and did not see the needle in the haystack. After a more careful reading, it's perfectly clear. The attribute name 'boolean' threw me off a bit. I thought maybe there was some Python magic happening related to the fact that the function returned a boolean. Now all is clear. Thanks very much.

Remember: everything is an object, and you can fiddle with attributes on any object. This particular object is used by the admin: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.list_display Read through that carefully and you'll see the 'boolean' option and a few other useful tricks. -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

django-registration question: activation_key_expired.boolean = True
This question refers to line 205 here: http://bitbucket.org/ubernostrum/django-registration/src/b6b213d84d32/registration/models.py In a nutshell: class RegistrationProfile(models.Model): def activation_key_expired(self): ... expiration_date = datetime.timedelta(days=settings.ACCOUNT_ACTIVATION_DAYS) return self.activation_key == self.ACTIVATED or \ (self.user.date_joined + expiration_date <= datetime.datetime.now()) activation_key_expired.boolean = True # <- what does this do? What does that last line do? I have looked high and low in Django and Python documentation, but I can't find an example or explanation of this pattern. It appears to be clobbering the method 'activation_key_expired()' with a boolean that is always True. Surely there's something else at work here, isn't there? Sorry if this is obvious to everyone but me, but I can't find the answer anywhere. Thanks. Alan btw: James Bennett's django-registration app is great. Elegant, well designed, and does exactly what it needs to. I learned a lot about django and django testing just by reading the code. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
