Sorry for adding confustion to this buy why does Chained inheritance not work?

class Commentable(db.Model):
   def put(...): ... # if some create/modify logic is needed
   def delete(...): ... # if some delete magic is needed (trash comments?)
   comments_counter = db.IntegerProperty(required=True, defualt=0)

class Post(Commentable):
   title = db.StringProperty(required=True)
   body = db.TextProperty(required=True)
   added = db.DateProperty(auto_add_now=True)

this is perfectly readable and sould do pretty much what was asked for.

Am I missing something?


BTW: Adam, how do I search with the tag mixins for the objects that
are tagged with "A", "B", "C" and "D"? // just curious because I
implemented some tagging to my app the other day and didn't use the
solution you used.

regards,
 Moritz
