Django: retrieving abstract-derived models

Question

After getting fine answer to my previous question, I came across another problem.

I followed the third approach, being aware of what djangodocs say about abstract model subclassing.

I am using the latest Django, rev 9814. The strange behaviour I get:

In [1]: o = Order()

In [2]: o.save()
DEBUG:root:STORING EVENT MESSAGE: Order created. pk=2 -- LEVEL TOP
DEBUG:root:Saving order pk=2 

# it actually does exist in the database, so everything's cool.

In [3]: o.id
Out[3]: 2L # huh?

In [4]: o._default_manager
Out[4]: <django.db.models.manager.Manager object at 0x16e5370>

In [5]: Order.objects.all()
Out[5]: []

# WTF? and even more WTF below:

In [6]: Order.objects.get(id=2)

TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 1 argument (5 given)

Answer 1

Ok, my fault (the Pragmatic Progammer's "Don't blame SQL" again). It was exactly what traceback was saying, forgot about __init__'s args & kwagrs. Silly me.
