Re: unbound method save() must be called with MyModel instance as first argument

Also it looks like in your separate tread Daniel wrote:

> model_instance = model()

That is how you can create instance from model.

Hi,

I did not mention your use of `stattr()`.

I was about class VS instance of that class.

Did you say that problem is with unbound method `save()` which should be called with instance as a first argument?

In my case, I'm using `setattr()` because I need to access a field via string and set it. I can't do `obj.myCol = "blah blah"` because this whole code is part of a `manage.py` command I'm setting up that asks the user to input the name of the model and column they want to add a new record for.

Hi,

It looks like with get_model() you've gotten Model class not Model instance.

You can use `save()` on instance only.

You need to have something like:

class_ = get_model(…)

instance = class_()

instance.save()

I hope that make sense to you.
