Let's say you have several Nodes in your database. You want to make them Repeaters, and Repeater inherits from Node.
You need a way to do this more easily than typing commands into a shell, and it'd be nice to do it for several different models, not just Node->Repeater.
Here's an example of doing it by hand:
#convert a superclass instance to a subclass instance
original = Node.objects.all()[0] #pick the one you want
rp = Repeater(node_ptr=original) #node_ptr key name will change based on model, I think
rp.save_base(raw=True)
rp.__dict__.update(original.__dict__)
rp.save()
Please provide a way to 'upgrade' a model to a subclass and fill in the new fields of the subclass in the django admin page.
Ideally you could make this a separate django app and model-agnostic, but that might complicate things.
