The ticket isn't the right place to have design discussions. If you're interested in developing this feature, then a thread on django-developers is the next step. > I am pretty new to Django and Python, since taking a new job and > shifting from RoR.

I'd be interested in hearing those ideas. I've heard people claim that this is possible in Rails (also in SQLAlchemy), but I've never had enough of an itch to go looking and see if this is true, and if so, how they implement it. > Again, if there is/was a ticket on this, I'd really love to > see it, since there's not much point in duplicating old discussions, > and it seems like it'd be a more appropriate place keep this > discussion anyway. There is a very old ticket - #2238 - which was marked 'wontfix' at the time for the same reasons I mentioned. I'm not aware of much by way of old discussions to build on, so feel free to start from scratch. > Otherwise, I'd be happy to open up the discussion in this thread.

Like I said - if you're keen to try to implement this, the next step is a thread on django-developers, in which you describe your proposal.
