Question

How to make entry.category to be instance of CategoryProxy? See code for details:

class Category(models.Model): pass

class Entry(models.Model):
    category         


        

Answer 1

Define a property category on EntryProxy that looks up the CategoryProxy by its id:

class EntryProxy(Entry):
    @property
    def category(self):
        cid = super(EntryProxy, self).category.id
        return CategoryProxy.objects.get(id=cid)

    class Meta:
        proxy = True
