Model.__eq__() [source]
The equality method is defined such that instances with the same primary key value and the same concrete class are considered equal, except that instances with a primary key value of None aren’t equal to anything except themselves. For proxy models, concrete class is defined as the model’s first non-proxy parent; for all other models it’s simply the model’s class.
For example:
from django.db import models
class MyModel(models.Model):
id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
class MyProxyModel(MyModel):
class Meta:
proxy = True
class MultitableInherited(MyModel):
pass
# Primary keys compared
MyModel(id=1) == MyModel(id=1)
MyModel(id=1) != MyModel(id=2)
# Primay keys are None
MyModel(id=None) != MyModel(id=None)
# Same instance
instance = MyModel(id=None)
instance == instance
# Proxy model
MyModel(id=1) == MyProxyModel(id=1)
# Multi-table inheritance
MyModel(id=1) != MultitableInherited(id=1)
