I think I'm making this way harder than it needs to be.

the admin url for 'configurable products' on my site is

admin/product/configurableproduct/

but

admin/product/multicolorproduct returns 404

I can interact with multicolorproduct via manage.py shell, so at least
that part is working.

how exactly should I have "register it with the admin"  ? Make a file
called admin.py and put in "admin.site.register(MultiColorProduct)" ?

Do I need to make a MultiColorProductAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin)
class ?

Thanks for all of the help, I'm sure the internet is doing a
collective eyeball roll at my antics.
