Thanks! I put the function just in the file of one of the models (it is used for handling the signal) and it worked perfectly.
I just came to an idea that the pre_init and post_init signals could be used to extend contributed models without modifying their files. The question that cames to my mind is: How to attach an attribute, property or method to an existing Python class? Any examples or directions?
