Hi! So, there is a huge Django app with multiple classes in Model. I am interested in getting call stacks of some classes. I have few questions in the approach and few questions regarding the implementation. I am using Django 1.4.20 and python 2.7
1. What if we decide to write a decorator for the class/ methods? Ex. @trackitdown Class A(models.Model): or @trackitdown def some_method(): # method in models.py This is because I do not want to disturb the existing code. I wish to achieve following- I. If it is a class, track all "calls" whenever QuerySetAPI methods, save, delete is called. II. while doing following- objects =classWhichIsAManager()# overriding default manager Custom manager this should be decorator's task. III. override using get_query_set() , and save(), delete() How do you see this approach? I obviously was not able to implement this because of peculiar behavior of Model and ModelBase. 2. Is it okay to decorate a class, define decorator as a class and override methods in it? How much is this encouraged? 3. If I use Mixins, and try to implement the same, I still do not get how do we override objects=classWhichIsAManager() outside the model class? that too without loosing attributes of original model class. 4. Having said this, I wish to implement a library which will take care calls stacks of model classes/ methods. Is there a fundamental flaw in my approach? I can see that I am trying to play with some unknown business of ModelBase(Foreign Key constraints, etc) New approaches and comments are equally welcome! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
