"Derived Class"

[anonymous]

A feature you can create derived classes.
For example:

Class ClassA(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField()
    age  = models.IntergerField()

class ClassB(models.Model):
    serial = models.CharField()

class DerivedClass(models.Model):
    class Meta:
        derived = (ClassA, ClassB)
    name = models.CharField(derived = ClassA, attr = name)
    serial = models.CharField(derived = ClassB, attr = serial)

[Russell Keith-Magee]

It seems to me that you've come up with a very complex notation as an alternative to model inheritance (which is already supported in Django):

class ClassA(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField()
    age  = models.IntergerField()

class ClassB(models.Model):
    serial = models.CharField()

class DerivedClass(ClassA, ClassB):
    pass

If I've missed something here, feel free to reopen and elaborate on what it is you're trying to achieve.
