For example, see line 586 in admin/options.py: https://github.com/django/django/blob/1.5.1/django/contrib/admin/options.py#L586 # Gather actions from the admin site first for (name, func) in self.admin_site.actions: description = getattr(func, 'short_description', name.replace('_', ' ')) actions.append((func, name, description)) The default description is the name with underscores removed, unless you set a custom description in the function's "short_description" attribute. I'm not experienced with Django, so I can't ramble off lots of examples, but hopefully you get the gist. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
