Adding new custom permissions in Django

Question

I am using custom permissions in my Django models like this:

class T21Turma(models.Model):
    class Meta:
        permissions = ((\"can_view_boletim\", \"Can vi         


        

Answer 1

When i runnning migration with following code

ct, created = orm['contenttypes.ContentType'].objects.get_or_create(model='mymodel',     app_label='myapp') # model must bei lowercase!
perm, created = orm['auth.permission'].objects.get_or_create(content_type=ct, codename='mymodel_foo')

I getting folloving error

File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\south-0.7.3-py2.6.egg\south\orm.py", line 170, in  __getitem__
raise KeyError("The model '%s' from the app '%s' is not available in this migration." % (model, app))
KeyError: "The model 'contenttype' from the app 'contenttypes' is not available in this migration."

To prevent this error, i modified the code

from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType
from django.contrib.auth.models import Permission

class Migration(DataMigration):

    def forwards(self, orm):
        "Write your forwards methods here."
        ct = ContentType.objects.get(model='mymodel', app_label='myapp') 
        perm, created = Permission.objects.get_or_create(content_type=ct, codename='mymodel_foo')
        if created:
            perm.name=u'my permission description'
            perm.save()
