    <p>I know that in Python it's possible to add at runtime a method to a class:</p> <pre><code>class Test: def __init__(self): self.a=5 test=Test() import types def foo(self): print self.a test.foo = types.MethodType(foo, test) test.foo() #prints 5 </code></pre> <p>And I also know that it's possible to override the default <strong>setattr</strong> in the class definition:</p> <pre><code>class Test: def __init__(self): self.a=5 def __setattr__(self,name,value): print "Possibility disabled for the sake of this test" test=Test() #prints the message from the custom method called inside __init__ </code></pre> <p>However, it seems it's not possible to override at runtime the <strong>setattr</strong>:</p> <pre><code>class Test: def __init__(self): self.a=5 test=Test() import types def __setattr__(self,name,value): print "Possibility disabled for the sake of this test" test.__setattr__ = types.MethodType(__setattr__, test) test.a=10 #does the assignment instead of calling the custom method </code></pre> <p>In both the two last cases, dir(test) reports also the method <strong>setattr</strong>. However, while in the first case it works correctly, in the second it doesn't. Note that I can also call it explicitly, and in that case it works. Seems like that, while the method has been defined, it has not been mapped correctly to override the default assigment method. Am I missing something?</p> <p>I am using Python 2.7 by the way. The question is mostly academic, since it's probably not a good idea to do such a thing from the program design point of view, but still it deserves an answer - and despite I searched, I wasn't able to find it documented anywhere.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
