Where should django manager code live?

Question

This is a pretty simple django patterns question. My manager code usually lives in models.py, but what happens when models.py is really huge? Is there any other alternative patt

Answer 1

I prefer to keep my models in models.py and managers in managers.py (forms in forms.py) all within the same app. For more generic managers, I prefer to keep them in core.managers if they can be re-used for other apps. In some of our larger apps with models/modelname.py that will contains a manager and the model code which doesn't seem bad.
