Yes, that's more a Python problem, not specifically django.
You would normally do:
class User(models.Model):
def __init__(self):
name = ...
but this looks not cool) That's why most of python libraries use "declarative"
syntax to describe models:
class User(models.Model):
name = ...
And then behind the scenes they just hide that name variable somewhere and
create another name object-variable.
I think that is frustrating for newbies and lots of other users since it's hard
to understand difference between object-properties and class-properties)
That's one of things why python is broken, imho. But it's still better then
everything else)
