Complex django models.

Hello PyAMF Community,

I think I've asked this question in IRC. I blamed the ActionScript Mapping, but it is not working.

Below I've written a class hierarchy which uses django inheritance (not abstract) to build a dict like structure.
Trouble is when from the AIR frontend I send an instance of Dict, or Assoc, or DetailValue.
Django complains that the DetailValueInt (or DetailValuString which ever was the actual value) instance has
a detailvalue_ptr = None. I believe that pymaf is not setting this value to the corresponding instance of detailvalue.

Another problem is _sending_ a DetailValue instance because the DetailValueInt (or what ever class instance it should be), doesn't go with it in the 'detailvalueint' (or 'detailvaluestring'... or etc) that django creates as a reference from parent to child.

I was thinking that maybe I should add detailvalue_ptr atribute to all DetailValue* (where * is Int, String, Data..)
classes in the PyAMF mapping? Does PyAMF support this kind of thing. (Sorry to ask agian njoyce, I think you said "Yes" but I dont remember)

Cheers,
And Thanks
