===================== Model class reference ===================== .. currentmodule:: django.db.models This document covers features of the :class:`~django.db.models.Model` class. For more information about models, see :doc:`the complete list of Model reference guides `. Attributes ========== ``objects`` ----------- .. attribute:: Model.objects Each non-abstract :class:`~django.db.models.Model` class must have a :class:`~django.db.models.Manager` instance added to it. Django ensures that in your model class you have at least a default ``Manager`` specified. If you don't add your own ``Manager``, Django will add an attribute ``objects`` containing default :class:`~django.db.models.Manager` instance. If you add your own :class:`~django.db.models.Manager` instance attribute, the default one does not appear. Consider the following example:: from django.db import models class Person(models.Model): # Add manager with another name people = models.Manager() For more details on model managers see :doc:`Managers ` and :ref:`Retrieving objects `.
