The "save def save(self, *args, **kwargs):" should not have the leading save.
Also, if you are making a car system then this structure seems more appropriate:
class CarMake(models.Model):
...
class Car(models.Model):
make = models.ForeignKey(CarMaker)
...
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
do_something()
super(Car, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

Hi,
if I have got several models that have identical code, except for
their save method, how can I use an abstract base class for them? Will
I have to overwrite save() for each model? Or is there a generic way
to define save(), i.e. a way that I have to use only once -- in the
abstract base class?
class BMW(models.Model):
...
save def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
do_something()
super(BMW, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
class Fiat(models.Model):
...
save def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
do_something()
super(Fiat, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

The whole point of subclassing is that subclasses inherit models from the
superclass. That's how the model save() method is definted in the first place,
if you don't override it. What exactly are you having problems with?
