In Django, if you have models that use multi-table inheritance, and you define a receiver for a post_save signal on the parent class, does that receiver function get called when an instance of the child class is saved?
Borrowing an example from another question:
class Animal(models.Model):
category = models.CharField(max_length=20)
class Dog(Animal):
color = models.CharField(max_length=10)
def echo_category(sender, **kwargs):
print "category: '%s'" % kwargs['instance'].category
post_save.connect(echo_category, sender=Animal)
If I do:
>>> dog = Dog.objects.get(...)
>>> dog.category = "canine"
>>> dog.save()
Will the echo_category
receiver function be called?
Check out: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9318 It appears that most propagate the signal to the super in the subclass.
