When using the python interpreter I try and use an imported class within a class, and get a NameError. However, when using it outside the class, I get no error. The code works fine in the file in which it ran, but could someone explain this behaviour please?
In [27]: class DataSheet(factory.DjangoModelFactory):
FACTORY_FOR = A.B.C
FACTORY_DJANGO_GET_OR_CREATE = ('title',)
<other_fields>
....:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

And yes, the comment below is apt -- I'm using Django 1.4.11
