I want to create a parent-child like catalog system.

state = models.IntegerField()
parentcatalog = models.ManyToOneRel(Catalog)
but when syncdb i got:
File "/home/ken/sites/mysite/catalog/models.py", line 12, in Catalog
parentcatalog = models.ManyToOneRel(Catalog)
NameError: name 'Catalog' is not defined
It seems like I cannot ref to a model which is not completely defined.
What should I do?
... and once you get past that you will likely find there isn't a
models.ManyToOneRel class. You imported models from django so that is
where python will look for that class. You don't need to refer to your
own models.py namespace in front of your (incompletely defined)
ManyToOneRel() class.
I think you are looking for a models.ForeignKey('self') relationship.

With any luck you should be able to put Catalog in quotes so it is a
string rather than an undefined object.
