I've this model class DistributionList(CommonList): distributionListID = models.IntegerField()
NB: CommonList is another model with abstract=True in Meta class. (Abstract Base Class) Now, On the initialization of this DistributionList(whether newly created or retrieved from db), I've to call a web service with distributionListID as parameter and associate the return value (say of class Foo) with the instance. I think post_init signal is the way. Am I right? (or is it overriding __init__ ) Does the call to save store instance of Foo, that I set in __init__ or with post_init signal in database? If it does, then, I don't need the returned instance of Foo to be stored in db when save method of distributionList is called. Else, which is the best way, overriding __init__ or using post_init -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
