Django - how to determine if a model class is abstract

Question

If the django model is made abstract, as shown below, is there a way to test the class to determine if it is abstract?

class MyModel(models.Model):
  class Meta:
    abstract = True

I would expect that I can learn MyModel.Meta.abstract, but according to the Django docs:

Django makes one adjustment for the Meta class of the abstract base class: before setting the Meta attribute, it sets abstract = False . This means that children of abstract base classes do not automatically become abstract classes.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Answer 1

You can create an instance of MyModel and then check ._meta.abstract.

So in the code:

m = MyModel()
print m._meta.abstract
