Hello all, I have a model hierarchy in my django app, and there is one very important task that I do not know how to do. I have a bunch of instances of the superclass (Word is the model name), and on input from a user I want to create a subclass instance (Verb) from that superclass instance. For example, I might have code like this:
>>> word = Word.objects.get(pk=[input from user]) >>> verb = Verb.createFromSuperclassInstance(word) >>> verb.save() The only problem is that I know of no such "createFromSuperclassInstance" method, nor where to look for it. I do know how to do this through the database itself (just add a row to the verb table with the correct foreign key), but I was hoping django would provide some nice way to do it without me having to explicitly write SQL. The Verb class's __init__ method creates a new Word instance, so that doesn't work, unless there's a way to use it that I don't know about. Any help?
