= CookBook - [wiki:CookBookDataModels Data Models] - Splitting models across multiple files =

To split models across multiple files, you can do the following (works at least with revision 2819):

{{{apps/polls/models/__init__.py}}}:
{{{
from poll import Poll
from choice import Choice
}}}

{{{apps/polls/models/poll.py}}}:
{{{
from django.db import models

class Poll(models.Model):
    question = models.CharField(maxlength=200)
    pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')

    class Meta:
        app_label = 'polls'
}}}

{{{apps/polls/models/choice.py}}}:
{{{
from django.db import models
from poll import Poll

class Choice(models.Model):
    poll = models.ForeignKey(Poll)
    choice = models.CharField(maxlength=200)
    votes = models.IntegerField()

    class Meta:
        app_label = 'polls'
}}}

Ok so the example is a bit stupid but it should illustrate the point.
