Here's the problem. The term "a blank record" is meaningless.
Well, no, it's not. It's exactly what I get when I do new=Item() and commit().
It's very well defined, precise, and repeatable.
Trying to make other tools guess this for you seems to be taking up days of
your time - whereas a simple def set_myself_blank(self) method OTOH would take
30 seconds.
I've been writing that 30 second method for 2 days now. So evidently it takes
longer than that :-)
Problem is that model has about 75 columns in it. Each Column() has a
default='foo' parameter. And they are all unique to some extent.
So I can *replicate* that information that is already there in a dict somewhere
that will have 75 lines in it and then maintain it in sync with the "official"
version. That is a severe violation of DRY and it will inevitably lead to bugs
and possibly data corruption.
Avoiding such seems a worthy goal.
I apologize, truly, that I have greatly overused your assistance on this. Thank
you.
I have formulated a couple of hackish approaches that will probably work. Guess
I'm stuck with them. :-)
