Appendix A. Model Definition Reference
Chapter 5 explains the basics of defining models, and we use them throughout the rest of the book. There is, however, a huge range of model options available not covered elsewhere. This appendix explains each model definition option.
Note that although these APIs are considered stable, the Django developers consistently add new shortcuts and conveniences to the model definition. It's a good idea to always check the latest documentation online at http://docs.djangoproject.com/.
