Meta class completely missing.

[Brandon]

print Foo.Meta throws AttributeError: type object 'Foo' has no attribute 'Meta' for *some* classes.

Reproduce it by:

from django.db import models
class Foo(models.Model):
    value = models.CharField(max_length=256,blank=True)

    class Meta(object):
        pass

Then makemigrations and migrate

Then print Foo.Meta

Of the 61 models currently defined in one models.py my project 25 of them do not throw an error and have a reference to a Meta class. The other 36 throw the error above.

Is this right? What is going on? Why would some models have a Meta class and others not? Actually defining a Meta class (with or without attributes) in the model seems to make zero difference.

Any help understanding this is greatly appreciated.

hi brandon

try removing (object) from your meta class declaration

Done. No change.

What is also very bizarre is that *not* having a Meta class would make the "Restaurant" test (tests/model_inheritance/models.py : Line 107) break badly; class Restaurant has a Meta that subclasses the Meta of class Rating. So if Meta does not exist... well you see the problem. In fact this *exact* thing occurs in my situation. 

I have a "class Case(models.Model)" with a "class Meta:" and a "class MDxCase(Case):" if I try to do "class Meta(Case.Meta):" for class MDxCase an AttributeError error is thrown "Case has no attribute 'Meta'". 

This is very very odd.

Can anyone explain this behavior or have any other ideas to try?
