Description

Attributes in the model class that django isn't expecting cause djangoadmin.py install <foo> to crash with a particularly nondescript error (AttributeError: '<whatever>' object has no attribute 'custom'). Functions and expected non-function attributes are all parsed correctly, but it appears that when django encounters an unknown name it doesn't do type-checking (in this case, it was a tuple used as a choices argument, which can't be assigned values using foo.bar).

Sample model:

class Sample(meta.Model):
    FRAMEWORK_CHOICES = (
        (0, "Django"),
        (1, "RoR"),
        (2, "Other"),
    )
    fields = (
        meta.IntegerField('framework', choices=Sample.FRAMEWORK_CHOICES)
    ),

nb: The problem was fixed by moving it to the module rather than the class, but it can no longer be referenced by custom functions, as they are generated in a different module.
