Well, if I understand you correctly, you should have any trouble, as long as a parent relationship actually exists. From the code given, you aren't creating explicit relationships inside your CustomCategory class, so I assume you're falling back on Satchmo's category relationships. If you subclassed CustomCategory from Category, it now has all the attributes of a CustomCategory AND a Category.
So, if I have: c = CustomCategory.objecst.select_related().get(id=2) Then I should be able to access the 'code' for c as: print c.code For the parent (I'm not certain how Satchmo structures these right now as I don't use categories): print c.parent_category.code Just replace parent_category with whatever field Satchmo's Category model uses to point to the immediate parent.
