django object get/set field
why do you want this?
You could use
obj.__dict__['field']
i guess... though it's not a method call
changed=[field for (field,value) in newObj.__dict__ if oldObj.__dict__[field] != value]
will give you a list of all the fields that where changed.
(though I'm not 100% sure)
If somebody stumbles upon this little question, the answer is right here: How to introspect django model fields?
To get the value of a field:
getattr(obj, 'field_name')
To set the value of a field:
setattr(obj, 'field_name', 'field value')
To get all the fields and values for a Django object:
[(field.name, getattr(obj,field.name)) for field in obj._meta.fields]
You can read the documentation of Model _meta API which is really useful.
