Model Inheritance

[jurian]

How would I go about implementing a model that only exists to be
inherited from and not used on it's own?

Example:

class Animal(models.Model):
name = models.CharField()

class Dog(Animal):
x = models.CharField()

class Cat(Animal):
y = models.CharField()


In the example I want to create and manipulate dog and cat objects,
but I will never need to use animal objects, so the animal table
doesn't need to be created at all.

I think that Django does not support model inheritance (yet).
The dev team seems to have thought about it :
http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/ModelInheritance

You might want to ask Google for "django model inheritance" for all
the information you need.

It's working on the latest development release. Does that mean I
should move this discussion to the developers group?

No, it's working in a branch.

No, it means that if you're interested you should check out the
branch, which has full documentation of the feature, though you should
keep in mind that it's still under development.

By the way, the specific branch that this should be working under is
queryset-refactor.
