Problem 'duplicating' object instance

[luciusoso]

Hi everyone, as the title says i have a problem when trying to copy a model instance.

Basically when i try in my tests to duplicate an object by setting its pk and id to None, i get nothing in return.

class MyTest(TestCase):

    def setUp(self):

        u1 = User(username='user1', email='te...@test.com')

        u1.save()

        a1 = Account(full_name='Test1', user=u1)

        a1.save()

    def test_copy(self):

        account1 = Account.objects.all()[0]

        account1.pk = None

        account1.id = None

        account1.save()

        print Account.objects.all()

>>>... <Account: user1>

Am i wrong in thinking i should be getting 2 objects after setting the pk to none?

I think you can use deepcopy.copy set the id none then save
