This already seems to do that: http://code.google.com/p/uml-to-django/ I have not tried it: I am put off by the way it splits models.py and admin.py, which is probably a necessary evil for a graphical model editor. A graphical tool I have found useful runs the other way: the graph command from django-extensions generates UML from Django models. > > On Sat, Sep 8, 2012 at 12:42 PM, Timothy Clemans > <timothy...@gmail.com <javascript:>> wrote: > > I've developed a GUI for creating models, see > > https://github.com/timothyclemans/django-admin-models-editor > > > > Would this be helpful for developers?

If so some integration with South would be nice. It would make it a lot more useful: I spend much more time modifying models that creating them. Also, looking at the code, it looks to me as though: if not app.startswith('django'): in admin_auto_register.autoregister ought to be: if not app.startswith('django.'): if the intention is to exclude modules from django. There are other apps with names starting with django such as django_extensions. Can you extend this to cover more of the field options? Dealing with things like "choices" looks like fair amount of work, but otherwise users will constantly be switching between GUI and text editor. The big negative for me with tools like this is that unless I can do most of the work on models within it, then it will not improve productivity. > > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups > > "Django users" group. > > To view this discussion on the web visit > > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/django-users/-/AUCo4dXzbDEJ. > > To post to this group, send email to > > django...@googlegroups.com<javascript:>. > > > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > > django-users...@googlegroups.com <javascript:>. > > For more options, visit this group at > > http://groups.google.com/group/django-users?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
