[tags]django, inheritance[/tags]

I spent a few hours diving into Django. I knew enough python to get around, and also to be dangerous.

Here’s a summary of what I’ve learned.

Model Inheritence

So far I’ve learned that ModelInheritence is not quite ready. In other words, you can’t define in your models.py something like this:

The model itself will work, and it will save, but things like Page.objects.all() will return empty lists.

Where I’m still shaky

I…

• still have to learn how to create templates.
• want better understanding of the available field types.
• want to find a good CMS plugin
• want to know if there’s the idea of environments in Django (like in symfony)
• want to override .save() on my models
• want to learn how to have self-referencing models (E.g. a hierarchical category)

I’m going to keep on plugging along, it’s really easy to figure out django.
