Hallöchen!
I sub-classed unicode in an own class called "Excerpt", and now I
try to implement a __unicode__ method. In this method, I want to
get the actual value of the instance, i.e. the unicode string:
def __unicode__(self):
"""Returns the Unicode representation of Excerpt. Note that this is
buffered,
so don't be afraid of calling it many times.
:Return:
- Unicode representation of ``self``
:rtype: unicode
"""
if not hasattr(self, "__unicode"):
self.__unicode = super(Excerpt, self).__unicode__()
return self.__unicode
Unfortunately, unicode objects don't have a __unicode__ method.
However, unicode(super(Excerpt, self)) is also forbidden because
super() allows attribute access only (why by the way?).
How does my object get its own value?
Tschö,
Torsten.
