django object get/set field

Question

Can I get the value of an object field some other way than obj.field? Does something like obj.get(\'field\') exist? Same thing for setting the valu

Answer 1

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)
