Hi Adrian, Please let me know if you are interested in my previous patch for ticket 419.
To summarize, it modifies django/core/meta/__init__.py to: 1. check for a (new) meta attribute "no_table" 2. if no_table is true, keep the model class out of the module's list of "_MODEL"s The result is that the model isn't included in other functions that operate on meta.MODEL classes while still allowing inheritance. I've only tested it lightly, with the existing unit tests and my simple "experiment" classes. I wasn't able to figure out how to obtain the same results (#2, above) by creating a meta.AbstractModel class, so I simply added the "no_table" attribute, which works. If you like the fix, please tell me how you like your patch submissions formatted and/or what other test(s) you'd like to see. I'll then clean it up and write unit tests like the existing ones that generate the model example documentation. Eric.
