django-model-repr

django-model-repr is a django library that overrides Model's __repr__ and provides more detailed information with less effort.

Installation

pip install django-model-repr

Add django_model_repr in top of INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
  "django_model_repr",
  # ...
  # ...
)

This library monkey-patches the django standard library django.db.models.Model. It means libraries like django.contrib.auth inherit django.db.models.Model to create their own models, putting django_model_repr somewhere in the middle of the INSTALLED_APPS can cause errors.

Settings

MODEL_REPR_MONKEY_PATCHING

Default: True

By default, it monkey-patches automatically when initializing. Setting this to False you can manually choose which model to be overrided. Import django_model_repr.models.Model and change your model to inherit it.
