Question

What is the preferred naming convention for Django model classes?

Answer 1

Django models are just Python classes, so the Python naming conventions detailed in PEP-8 apply.

For example:

1. Person
2. Category
3. ZipCode

If Django fails to pluralize the class name properly when creating the corresponding table, you can easily override the pluralization by setting a custom verbose_name_plural field in an inner META class. For example:

class Story(models.Model):     ...      class Meta:         verbose_name_plural = 'stories'
