class QuestionSet(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
description = models.TextField()
order = models.IntegerField()
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.title = kwargs.get('title','Default Title')
self.description = kwargs.get('description', 'DefDescription')
self.order = kwargs.get('order', 0)
One thing that looks suspect to me here is that you're not calling
__init__ on models.Model.
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
models.Model.__init__(self, ...)
Which will prevent the base class from initializing.
For example:
>>> class A(object):
... def __init__(self):
... print 'A init'
...
>>> class B(A):
... def __init__(self):
... A.__init__(self)
... print 'B init'
...
>>> class C(A):
... def __init__(self):
... print 'C init'
...
>>> C()
C init
<__main__.C object at 0x7fd811c23bd0>
>>> B()
A init
B init
<__main__.B object at 0x7fd811c23c50>
Constructor calls don't bubble up on their own, you have to explicitly
call them.
I would assume that something in the model's base class is what adds the
_state attribute. By short circuiting the constructor, you're preventing
this from ever happening.
