I am using Django1.6

i have abstract class A, and class B:

class A(Model):
    att = CharField()

    class Meta:
        abstract = True

class B(A):
    pass

i want to override the behaviour of 'att' (without touching class A): so when using:

b = B(att='a').save()
b.att  (output is 'a')

but i want to override the output: so:

b.att (output is something else like 'a_thanks')

class B(A):
    @propert
    def att(self):
        return self._att + '_thanks'

how can i do it? i know this is possible from django 1.10

is there a problem with the answer you linked to?...oh, maybe you are telling you don't want to make class A abstract... – progmatico Feb 12 '18 at 14:38
You could try creating a `class AAbstract(A)` with meta `abstract=True`, don't know if it might work. – shad0w_wa1k3r Feb 12 '18 at 14:42
