Models? Where do I find an example? I've got Pro Django, Definitive Guide to Django, Python Essential Reference, and I've read the online django tutorial and a bunch of random docs. I have yet to see an instance of mapping a url to a model.
Or, I don't know what you mean by model vs view (because when I say view - I mean just a function that takes a request, returns a response, and lives in a file called views.py). What am I missing?
