Proxy model ContentType question
Ryan
that for a proxy model object, the contenttype being returned is of
the base concrete class since it sets opts to the _meta of
proxy_for_model . If one uses a generic relation in the admin app,
you can set the generic contenttype to that of a proxy model class. I
was just wondering if the contenttype get_for_model call is returning
the correct type (concrete base class)?

Since you can actually assign a generic relation in the admin app to a
proxy model object, when using a generic relation, the proxy objects
aren't returned because the lookup is using get_for_model which
returns an instance of the base class. (I only figured this out after
having wrapped the ContentType get_by_natural_key call). I'm
wondering what other implications there are if I continue to use the
get_by_natural_key as a way to get the proxy content type.
