""" XX. Model inheritance Model inheritance exists in two varieties: - abstract base classes which are a way of specifying common information inherited by the subclasses. They don't exist as a separate model. - non-abstract base classes (the default), which are models in their own right with their own database tables and everything. Their subclasses have references back to them, created automatically. Both styles are demonstrated here.
