Django model: delete() not triggered

Question

I have a model:

class MyModel(models.Model):
 ...
    def save(self):
        print \"saving\"
        ...
    def delete(self):
        print \"deleting\"
          


        

Answer 1

I know this question is ancient, but I just ran into this again and wanted to add that you can always move your code to a pre_delete or post_delete signal like so:

from django.db.models.signals import pre_delete
from django.dispatch.dispatcher import receiver

@receiver(pre_delete, sender=MyModel)
def _mymodel_delete(sender, instance, **kwargs):
    print("deleting")

It works with the admin's bulk delete action (at least as of 1.3.1).
