I do almost precisely this in most of my larger apps; I don't have one file per class, rather I keep all closely related models in one file, and haven't hit any problems with this - if you have import issues, then you have the wrong design :) Do you know specifically what magic fails? I hadn't noticed anything. Cheers Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
