Re: Models inheritance in django: how to change PK "_ptr_id" on "id"?

Glad you were able to resolve your problem. I use multi-table inheritance a lot and so far it always "just works" without me having to worry about or fiddle with the internal ids that Django uses to connect the derived class rows to the base class ones. -- John On Feb 8, 1:25 pm, Artyom

Re: django docs __unicode__ return u'%s %s

Just to fill in some more info, __unicode__ methods are also part of core python and just happen to appear a lot in django code because of its preference for 16-bit unicode strings (though I think the methods are actually mostly invoked in the admin). There is also a __str__ function for

Re: Primary key for read-only models

I think you can do what you want as long as you set your read-only model to managed=False in the Meta. You have to set some field to primary_key=True but it doesn’t have to actually be unique. To avoid situations where django will do something that will only work if it is unique you might want

Is the django coummity converging on a preferred REST API package?

I’ve looked on this group, stackoverflow and the web at large for indication that the django community is converging on a single REST API package that is “preferred” and a potential candidate for inclusion in a future django distribution. So far all I’ve seen is people saying positive or negative

Re: All models with FKs, M2Ms, or 121s pointing to a given model

It's maybe not as rigorous as the explicitly _meta-based approach noted by Russ McGee, but I use straight introspection combined with a knowledge of naming conventions, as follows: # This function looks only at passed in object, not its derived subobjects # If you want items from the most derived
