Django multi-table inheritance, how to know which is the child class of a model?

Question

I\'m having a problem with multi-table inheritance in django.

Let’s make an example with bank accounts.

class account(models.Model):
    name = models……         


        

Answer 1

You can use hasattr() method like:

if hasattr(account, 'accounttypea'):
   account.accounttypea. = 
   do something here....

elif hasattr(account, 'accounttypeb'):
   account.accounttypeb. = 
   do something here...

It's not so DRY but works. :)
