Hi, As per usual, I am probably just being really dappy, but I can't see a good way to do this.
I have a model that has about 10 fields, and I may be populating each record with at least one field, but probably less that 4 (could be any 4 of the 10 though). The others will be null or empty strings. Some of the fields are foreign keys, and some are text. Anyway, I wish the unicode method of the model to return: """ field_a = value_of_a, field_c = some_other_value """ where field_a, and field_c are the only not null fields (or fields where the strings are not empty) for the record (if that makes sense). The only way I can figure out how to do it (apart from lots of "if,elif"s, hard coding the fields) is: non_null = [(attr, getattr(self, attr)) for attr in vars(self) if attr != 'id' and attr[0] != '_' and getattr(self, attr) and getattr (self, attr) != ''] This returns the data I want but it is returning the raw values from the database which is a bit nasty, and I would have to do a lot of post processing to make both the field name and the value pretty. Is there a nicer way to loop through the model attributes (rather than db fields) that would give the objects for the foreign keys instead of the ids?
