The Model.from_db() is intended to be used in cases where customization of model loading is needed. Reasons can be performance, or adding custom behavior to the model (for example "dirty field tracking" to issue automatic update_fields when saving models). A big thank you to Tim Graham for the review!
The documentation in this tree is in plain text files and can be viewed using any text file viewer. It uses ReST (reStructuredText) [1], and the Sphinx documentation system [2]. This allows it to be built into other forms for easier viewing and browsing. To create an HTML version of the docs: * Install Sphinx (using ``sudo pip install Sphinx`` or some other method) * In this docs/ directory, type ``make html`` (or ``make.bat html`` on Windows) at a shell prompt. The documentation in _build/html/index.html can then be viewed in a web browser. [1] http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html [2] http://sphinx-doc.org/
