models.py getting huge, what is the best way to break it up?

Question

Directions from my supervisor: \"I want to avoid putting any logic in the models.py. From here on out, let\'s use that as only classes for accessing the databa

Answer 1

I can't quite get which of many possible problems you might have. Here are some possibilities with answers:

• multiple models in the same file

  Put them into separate files. If there are dependencies, use import to pull in the additional models.

• extraneous logic / utility functions in models.py

  Put the extra logic into separate files.

• static methods for selecting some model instances from database

  Create a new Manager in a separate file.

• methods obviously related to the model

  save, __unicode__ and get_absolute_url are examples.
