m2m_changed signal's "model" argument is acting wierd

[Dev Aggarwal]

I hace a signal for m2m changed defined like this

@receiver(signals.m2m_changed, sender=models.Exam.questions.through)
def exam_questions_change(sender, instance, action, reverse, model, pk_set, using, **kwargs):
    print(repr(model))
    print(model.___class___)
    print(isinstance(model, models.Question))

And it gives me the following output

<class 'App.models.Question'>
<class 'django.db.models.base.ModelBase'>
False

What is going on here?

We'll need more information to tell if there is some Django issue worth investigating here:

What do you expect to see in that model parameter?

And a description of the M2M model setup would be great. Bonus points if you can provide a minimal project showing the issue.

Thanks for the reply.

I figured out what the problem was. I thought that model was an instance but it was the actual class of my model

doing this produced the required behavior :)

>> model == models.Question
True
