Re: adding field to query set

Ok the motive is for this reason.
I have a table generator class that display an html table from the
query set depending on the columns that you selected
class TableGenerator(name,mapping,data):

def __init__(self,name,mapping,data):
self._mapping = mapping
self._name = name
self._data = data
def render_table(self):
# pseudo code
* iterate through the mapping construct the table header
* iterate through self._data queryset and construct the columns
for the table body based on the mapping

-- mapping is a variable that holds the mapping of table header with
the actual field name of the model attribute
-- data is just the queryset object.

so here I want to generate a table to display every attribute in
project while also display the related fields of user.first_name and
user.last_name concatenated.
How can i refer to that field in my TableGenerator class using the
mapping generically?
