model subclassing

[Chris]

I am trying create a custom model field that will create 2 field
instances, a CharField and a booleanField. I am using this with
signals and dispatchers to insert data entered from this custom field
into another model/table that contains a boolean and char field. my
question is: how can I return 2 field objects in a single model
subclass class. Seems like it would be similar to what occurs in
datetimeField but not sure how to implement. so end result would look
something like this:

some_model(models.Model):
fields = customFields()

so that I don't have to do something like this in the model that I
will be calling this from

some_model(models.Model):
field_1 = customField1()
field_2 = customField2()

Any pointers on how to do this?

Thanks looks very helpful. I will look over that when I get a free
moment.
