django: getattr function (get field name)

django, getattr

Solution

modelInstance=ConfigConsModel()

This initializes `modelInstance` as new (empty) instance of `ConfigConsModel` class

newAttrName1=getattr(modelInstance, "configCons")

This line is equivalent to

newAttrName1=modelInstance.configCons

It does not get attribute's name, it gets it's value. Which of course is empty.

Problem

I can't make the function getattr work. Here is my code: ``` print ConfigConsModel()._meta.get_all_field_names() #['codesectrepmodel', 'configCons', 'id'] modelInstance=ConfigConsModel() newAttrName1=getattr(modelInstance, "configCons") print newAttrName1 #empty -> PB ``` What's wrong?
