Are you asking about factoring out certain common functionality shared
between models? It's quite common; for example most of my projects
have something like this as a starting point for many models:
class DatestampedModel(models.Model):
created = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now, editable=False)
modified = ModifiedField(editable=False)
class Meta:
abstract = True
ordering = ('-created',)
class MyActualModel(DatestampedModel)
...
Note the difference between abstract base classes and multi-table
inheritance:
