Hi guys,
Just had a thought; why aren't we using init when defining classes in this module?
Is that because we are using peewee, and we inheret the functionality by definig the class of type (Model)?
FYI I'm on the 'Using Databases in Python' course if that isn't being included in my question.
Thanks

You can use dir(Model) to see all that is included with the inheritance.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
