Description (last modified by Malcolm Tredinnick)

This call will generate an exception because the content_object is not found as field

>>> Property.objects.get_or_create(name=property_name, content_object=self)

This would work fine however (if self is in db as owner of Property):
>>> p = Property(name=property_name, content_object=self)

The last line of the exception is interesting: 
TypeError: Cannot resolve keyword 'content_object' into field. Choices are: anexampleowner, resource, id, name, content_type, object_id

It seems that, for some reason, here the variable referring to AnExampleOwner class has been named after the class, i.e.
anexampleowner. Is this by design?

Hee is the code:

class Property(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)#, core=True)
    content_object = generic.GenericForeignKey()        
    content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType)
    object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField()

class AnExampleOwner(models.Model, Owner):
    res_props = generic.GenericRelation(Property)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    def get_or_create_property(self, property_name):
        return Property.objects.get_or_create(name=property_name, content_object=self)

p = mr_dummy.get_or_create_property('description')

Sorry for my incredibly bad formatting... I'm new to this. I'm reading the FAQ on how to submit but I don't know how to edit my description. I have registered an account now as well.
