Handling GenericForeignKey's

[AndreiPashkin]

def get_generator(self, field):
    if field.name == 'content_type':
            return generators.ChoicesGenerator(
                   values=[ContentType.objects.get_for_model(m)
                           for m in [ModelOne, ModelTwo, ModelThree]])
    elif field.name == 'object_id':
        # where to pick right model class? ¯\(°_o)/¯

I think, for that case, instances of GeneridForeignKey are also could be passed to get_generator(), and being skipped in base implementation, so user will can handle them in subclass method. Or another hook like prost_process_instance could be defined, which must be called before instance being saved first time.

Another issue with GFK's is that you cant just do autofixture.creante_one(SomethingWithGFK, field_values={'content_object': some_object}) content_type will be set to random ContentType and object_id to random value, so content_object will refer to unexistent object.

I took a crack at implementing this. Added generator for GenericFK relations.
Overall method: find GenericFK fields from model._meta.virtual_fields, add them to the list of fields to be processed, and remove the constituent content_type and object_id fields from the processing list. Then use the GenericFK generator to either select or create an object to assign.

Here is how I'm using AutoFixture in models with GenericForeignKey. Feel free to use and/or modify it.
