Plain ol' Python multiple inheritance should work. Just define the
fields you want in some class:
{{{
class PersonMixin(object):
first = models.CharField(max_length=16)
last = models.CharField(max_length=16)
class Person(models.Model, PersonMixin):
pass
class Person2(models.Model, PersonMixin):
pass
}}}
