As a test application to learn Django, I'm trying to model a network of 
computers,
switches, patch panels and the connections between them. As a start, I have:


class Node(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=80)
    description = models.CharField(max_length=80, null=True)
    nodeLeft = models.ForeignKey('self')
    nodeRight = models.ForeignKey('self')
    # name of wire connecting to left and right nodes
    labelLeft = models.CharField(max_length=20, null=True)
    labelRight = models.CharField(max_length=20, null=True)

class Computer(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=80)
    description = models.CharField(max_length=80, null=True)
    interfaces = models.ManyToManyField(ComputerInterface)

class ComputerInterface(Node):
    ipAddr = models.IPAddressField(null=True)
    mbitsPerSec = models.IntegerField(null=True)
    computer = models.OneToOneField(Computer)

I run into a problem because ComputerInterface is not defined at the time its 
needed for
the "Computer" class:

  File "/home/andy/src/django-test/netlist/nodes/models.py", line 17, in 
Computer
    interfaces = models.ManyToManyField(ComputerInterface)
NameError: name 'ComputerInterface' is not defined

Is there a way I can refer to a class not yet defined?

Thanks,

        Andy
