Maybe the following is a django bug:

I have three models whereas one has a custom __init__ method:

from django.db import models


class Foo(models.Model):
    my_foo = models.CharField(max_length=1000)


class Bar(models.Model):
    bar1 = models.CharField(max_length=1000, default="")
    bar2 = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    foo = models.ForeignKey(Foo, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(Bar, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        print("check")
        self._original_bar1 = self.bar1
        self._original_bar2 = self.bar2


class Baz(models.Model):
    bar = models.ForeignKey(Bar, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

Creating a Foo object and a corresponding Bar object (via the admin interface) works fine. However, when I delete the Foo object, this results in an endless loop of the __init__ method.

If I rewrite the models slightly as

from django.db import models


class Foo(models.Model):
    my_foo = models.CharField(max_length=1000)


class AbstractBar2(models.Model):
    bar2 = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(AbstractBar2, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        print("check")
        self._original_bar2 = self.bar2

    class Meta:
        abstract = True


class AbstractBar1(models.Model):
    bar1 = models.CharField(max_length=1000, default="")

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(AbstractBar1, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        print("check")
        self._original_bar1 = self.bar1

    class Meta:
        abstract = True


class Bar(AbstractBar1, AbstractBar2):
    foo = models.ForeignKey(Foo, on_delete=models.CASCADE)


class Baz(models.Model):
    bar = models.ForeignKey(Bar, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

it errors out on

Fatal Python error: _Py_CheckRecursiveCall: Cannot recover from stack overflow.

This behavior has been reported a few times to the Django Issues tracker (#31435, #31475, #32660).

It is suggested that custom model loading should be done using Model.from_db() and there is also some documentation available how to do it. If this is not possible, the usage of self.__dict__.get('attribute') is mentioned as an alternative to be called in the overrite __init__ method.

This is especially relevant when handling multiple attributes as suggested in https://stackoverflow.com/a/1793323/2159075
