Is there any way for queries to return the actual model instead of Model?

[makupi]

I want to work with typehints, but unfortunately UserModel.objects.get() is typed to return Model and not UserModel.
PyCharm now complains that I'm passing Model and not UserModel. Is there any way to get around this, besides making my typehints Model?

Yeah I noticed it some time ago and I want to update the types with Generics so it should work better. You can open an issue with types update so it won't be missed along other tasks.

As a immediate yet quite ugly solution you can cast the returned instance to proper type like this:

from typing import cast
instance = UserModel.objects.get()
instance = cast(UserModel, instance)

Issue #112 is created to solve this issue

It was partially solved in 0.10.0. All Model.objects.method() should return the correct models and not the base ormar.Model type.
