Some further developments here: I was comparing aikhola's example on the Wiki page he just made (http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/CookBookSplitModelsToFiles ) to my quick test. He included the app_label attribute in the Meta class. I was not. Including that fixes the problem... it all works. I'm not sure that is the ideal solution, since (a) it seems to be entirely undocumented, and (b) it is unnatural; if "import myapp.models" puts the model into the namespace, I would expect any introspection code to pick it up. Having to add an attribute to say "if you're completely stuck, here's a clue" seems unfortunate (and if you misspell the app name, for example, and it doesn't match your directory, it's game over -- no model for you). So we might still be searching for the right implementation (or I might be wrong about this being not ideal), but Django as it stands at the moment *can* support multiple files in a models directory. You just need to sprinkle the secret sauce liberally.
