model/presentation separation

[yaoheling@…]

I'm working through the tutorial and noticed the following snippet:

class Poll(models.Model):

# ...
def was_published_recently(self):

return self.pub_date >= timezone.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1)

was_published_recently.admin_order_field = 'pub_date'
was_published_recently.boolean = True
was_published_recently.short_description = 'Published recently?'

All 3 attributes admin_order_field, boolean, and short_description seem to be related to how was_published_recently is presented in the admin interface. I guess there might be other such attributes in models.Model as well.

Maybe such attributes should be moved to admin.ModelAdmin?

Thanks,
