Be careful about confusing multiple things here; there are
applications available for Django which add features like this --
objects which behave like hierarchical lists/trees, taggable objects,
etc. -- and if you like those features you should certainly go look
them up. But those applications do not implement those features with
precisely the same names or syntax as ActiveRecord (or Elixir, which
deliberately borrows many such conventions from ActiveRecord). Which
is a perfectly good thing; Django isn't Rails, isn't written in the
same language and consciously tries to be idiomatic Python rather than
idiomatic Ruby, so trying to simply apply a a feature from Rails using
precisely the syntax Rails uses would cause it to stick out like a
sore thumb in Django.
