mutable verbose_name and help_text

Is there a way to adjust inherited verbose_name and help_text in child
tables depending on which child table is inheriting?

Sergiy Khohlov very kindly offered a generic OOP solution[1] to a recent
question I asked "how can an abstract class know which class inherits it"

I tried Sergiy's solution but couldn't get it working. However, I'm sure
this has been solved before. Maybe Sergiy's solution would have worked
if I coded it properly. Here is the problem ...

class Flavours(models.Model):
flavour = models.CharField(max_length=99, verbose_name="to be set
by inheritor", help_text="to be set by inheritor")
sauce = models.CharField(max_length=99, verbose_name="to be set by
inheritor", help_text="to be set by inheritor")
class Meta:
abstract = True

class Pizza(Flavours):
base = models.CharField(max_length=99)

class Pasta(Flavours):
pasta_shape = models.CharField(max_length=99)

Thanks

Mike
