Re: [Generateds-users] GenerateDS Question -- django and Python 3

Shane,

Oops.  I did not get this on my to-do list, and forgot it.  I
apologize.

With respect to the duplicate names, I read this in the Django docs:

    ForeignKey.related_name

    The name to use for the relation from the related object back to
    this one. It’s also the default value for related_query_name (the
    name to use for the reverse filter name from the target model). See
    the related objects documentation for a full explanation and
    example. Note that you must set this value when defining relations
    on abstract models; and when you do so some special syntax is
    available.

    If you’d prefer Django not to create a backwards relation, set
    related_name to '+' or end it with '+'.

Do you think there is any harm in *always* generating a related
name?  That should be easy to do.  Would it be objectionable to have
the `related_name` parameter even when not needed?

With respect to the optional items, I can add the generation of
", blank=True, null=True" whenever we have minOccurs="0".  Or, at
least I think I can.  I have to figure out how to determine whether
minOccurs is zero.  Might have to pass an additional piece of info
from earlier in the process.

[a bit later] Looks like that piece of information (minOccurs) is
not in the module generated by generateDS.py, which is used to
generate the `models.py` file, and would have to be added.  It seems
a bit icky to add that just for this one use, although that would
work, I suppose.  I need to study it a bit more to see if there is a
cleaner way.  Or, maybe convince myself that adding that piece of
information (minOccurs) would be a good thing in any case.  [just
thinking out loud]

Give me a little more time, and I'll send you a patch, I hope.

Dave
