Let's say I have a Polygon model
class Polygon(Models.model):
side_length = models.IntegerField()
Depending on the view I'm in, I want to calculate the perimeter of the
polygons as a square, or as a triangle (or anything other polygon).
What I'd like to do is somehow create a subclass of polygon (that
doesn't create a new database table), such as a Square or Triangle,
and then after I pull a Polygon queryset out of the database, I'd like
to cast all the Polygons to either Squares or Triangles, and then I
can call the perimeter() method for that object:
class Square(Polygon)
def perimeter(self): return 3*self.side_length
class Meta: abstract=True
But what I've ended up doing is added a traingle_perimeter() and a
square_perimeter() method to the Polygon object, and it just doesn't
seem right. Is there a preferred pythonic / djangoistic way to do
this?
Thanks!
