Description

Currently, django.db.models.base.Model._init_ does not accept object set-properties as its keyword arguments. See example below for more info. Attached is a trivial patch.


Example.model:

from django.db import models
class User(models.Model):
    first_name = models.CharField(maxlength=30, blank=False)
    last_name = models.CharField(maxlength=30, blank=False)
    def _get_name(self):
        return '%s %s' % (self.first_name, self.last_name)
    def _set_name(self, name):
        split = name.rfind(' ')
        self.last_name = name[split+1:]
        if (split < 0): split = 0
        self.first_name = name[:split]
    name = property(_get_name, _set_name)

Example.code:

u = User(name='Petr Iljic Cajkovskij')

Result.beforePatch:

TypeError: 'name' is an invalid keyword argument for this function
