I want to count all instances of the model inside its clean method, something like this:

def SampleModel(models.Model):
   ...

   def clean(self):
       SampleModel.objects.all().count()

However, the model is not yet defined, and objects is not accessible through self. Is there a way to do it without using raw sql?

    You can access the objects from self on a Model by using:

    self.__class__.objects.count()
