How to pass arguments when deleting an object? ex: object.delete(deleted_by=someone)

[Neto]

I want to pass an argument to delete an object, that argument will be handled by the signal.

Car.objects.get(pk=1).delete(deleted_by=someone)

models:

@receiver(post_delete, sender=Car)

def ref_person(sender, instance, **kwargs):

    who_deleted = ?

How do I get this argument?

Model.delete doesn't take any arguments other than "using". If you
want to pass more context, you'll have to override Model.delete in
your project, create your own signal, and then pass the extra
arguments to it. Same with QuerySet.delete if you want to override
mass deletion also.

Or, even though people on here hate this, you can also store the user
in a thread local variable. For example, using this module (untested,
but theoretically correct):

with setctxt(deleted_by=someone):
Car.objects.get(pk=1).delete()

@receiver(post_delete, sender=Car)
def ref_person(sender, instance, **kwargs):

who_deleted = getctxt('deleted_by', None)
