Re: Define Django Base Model Class

That doesn't change the advise

I would find it weird to import a class only to have something else loaded

"Explicit is better than implicit."

Got it.

The custom model doesn't have any significantly different behaviour, just some helper properties that return, for instance, a basic GrapQL Node from that very model (the project uses graphene).

You could monkeypatch django to accomplish this, but I would advise against it.

Instead of having implicit or hidden behaviour you should instruct your developers to use from myproject import models instead of from django.db import models

In one of my django projects, I have a base model (that inherits from django.db.models.Model), and is the base model class that all my models uses.

I would like to "override" the base model class from django, so everytime a developer would import the base model class with "from django.db.models import Model", it would insted import my project's custom base model.

The result would be something like this:

from django.db import models

class MyModel(models.Model):
    pass


>>> type(MyModel)
<class 'MyProject.MyApp.CustomModel'>

Any help would be apreciated!
